Cycling in the heights of Val Thorens is an exceptional high-altitude cycling experience. Perched at over 2300 meters in the French Alps, this legendary resort offers much more than snow-covered slopes in winter - it transforms into a cyclist's paradise in summer.

Imagine yourself in the saddle, slightly short of breath in the pure mountain air, as you begin the ascent to the Col de Tougnète from Les Menuires. This 7-kilometer bike trail, with its 626 meters of positive vertical drop, represents a rewarding challenge for thrill-seekers. The most competitive can even time themselves via the 3 Vallées Cycling Trophy on Strava and compare their performances.
