Where better to experience the thrills and excitement of mountain biking than in the stunning scenery and endless terrain of the French Alps. Meribel is in the heart of the Three Valleys - a mountain biking paradise with an extensive network of bike trails suitable for everyone.

Whether it's riding up tough climbs, down incredible descents or in idyllic mountain pastures, Meribel is the perfect location for every kind of biker. You can decide to bring your own bike or hire one when you get here.



If you are up for a challenge, then between the 7th & 8th July amateur riders can compete in the 3 Valleys Mountain Bike Challenge alongside world-class professionals, in a series of events of varying difficulty. These include a 70km tour of all 3 valleys, and a timed descent of the 7,000ft drop from the top of the Saulire to Brides les Bains.
