Le VTT en Maurienne

Valloire/Valmeinier - The Valmeinier loop

Get a load of Valloire and Valmeinier ! With the help of chairlifts, you can loop the loop without too much effort. The purists will proudly overtake the lift users… and will go on to the Prec trail. An ideal range of routes for a varied day on a bike ! The larch and spruce forest is full of game.

Difficulty
