MOUNTAIN BIKE & E-Bike
Plunge into the heart of the Ovronnaz landscape and explore trails suitable for all levels, offering unique challenges and panoramas at every turn. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, our collection of approved itineraries promises you a great outing accompanied by your two-wheeled companion.
The trails are not signposted for mountain bikes, so we advise you to use the routes indicated below or the "guidos" geolocation system to find your way.
Mountain bikes and e-bikes can be ridden on footpaths with a minimum width of 1m20.
Priority is given to pedestrians, even on the proposed routes.
To ensure mountain biking is accessible, safe, and suitable for all levels, we use the ITRS (International Trail Rating System). Each trail is assessed based on four key criteria: technical difficulty, physical endurance, exposure to risk, and isolation.
This Europe-wide system helps you choose a route that fits your skills, equipment, and adventure level!
Each diagram compares the 4 main trail criteria on a scale from 1 to 5:
Value | ITRS Color | Level |
---|---|---|
1 | Green | Very easy |
2 | Blue | Easy to moderate |
3 | Red | Difficult |
4 | Black | Very difficult |
5 | Orange | Expert / Pro |
-
Technical Difficulty
→ obstacles, slope, bike handling, jumps, roots… -
Endurance
→ physical effort required (distance, elevation gain) -
Exposure
→ potential severity of a fall (cliffs, drops, steep sections) -
Wilderness / Isolation
→ distance from help, network coverage, signage, remoteness
