Green MTB trails
Family friendly trails and practise areas if you're new to the sport or just fancy a cruisey one
La Plagne has green-graded mountain bike trails, one of which connects as a liaison to Bourg St Maurice and the neighbouring resort of Les Arcs.
Trail no.5
A liaison between two points, so don't expect a downhill track. It's a lengthy 9km and is the highest of the green trails in La Plagne.
Starting from either Aime 2000 or Plagne centre you climb 150m in total around Plagne Villages and over to Plagne Soleil, then loop back round and take the same path back to where you started. It should take around 1.5 hours.
Trail no.15 - Lac Noir
Above Les Coches and 7km long, starting from the top of the chairlift with the same name. There's a weeny 50m of climb and the rest is downhill (-490m) back to Les Coches village.
Trail no.32 - Pelerinage
Over in Plagne Montalbert this is the shortest of the green trails at 4.5km. It's a loop with 191m of climb and descent starting from around the Montalbert chairlift.
Bourg St Maurice liaison
Down on the valley floor this liaison is also graded green. It's 15km and takes you along the river all the way to Bourg where you can grab a bite to eat and head back, or head up the funicular to explore the trails in Les Arcs.
Champagny
Has a couple of family circuits or loops taking you along the valley floor and back to Champagny en Haut.
