For those chasing that extra dimension, the pleasure of travelling self-propelled through a pristine alpine environment, Les Arcs and the Tarentaise Valley offer truly countless possibilities
Apart from the great sense of achievement of ascending AND descending hundreds of metres of vertical in a day, cross-country riding in this area also provides fantastic opportunities to soak up the exquisite scenery, spot perhaps a couple of marmottes or even an eagle, and most importantly, work on that forearm tan!
We usually plan XC routes with our guests after dinner the evening before a ride. The winning formula tends to be a combination of some of the favourite descents from our lift assisted riding intertwined with a variety of the more interesting ascents to be found on the main Les Arcs mountain.
However, we also thoroughly enjoy taking guests off onto all-day epics in such areas as the serenly beautiful Beaufortain Massif to the north, or the outer reaches of the Malgovert and Ronaz forests in High Tarentaise country.

Although we always have a willing host on-hand to accompany these rides, our XC-orientated guests sometimes choose to simply borrow a map and take off to discover the area solo or in a smaller group. If you opt for this approach, we're always delighted to point you in the right direction and/or offer advice before you leave as to the quality and difficulty of any particular trails and routes that you may plan to visit.
