What is Enduro mountain biking ?

Enduro is an all-terrain cycling discipline that appeared in the 2000s, originating from from motorcycling. It combines elements of downhill mountain biking and cross-country on  mostly descending natural trails, far from the purpose built tracks of the Bike Park.

Our ski resorts and the Tarentaise valley are one of the best bike  playgrounds in France. The ELPRO MTB School allows you to discover some of it thanks to its half-day and full-day Black Friday products and logistics (vehicles and trailers) which are specially designed for this activity.

Half-day Black Friday format (only after discuss with our Bike Instructor):

If you are an experienced mountain biker or take regular excercise, you can ride in the company of our state certified instructor (member of the French Cycling Instructors) between the ski slopes of the La Plagne Paradiski area and into the Tarentaise valley.

This half-day gives you enough time to do 2 descents to the valley via two different routes specially selected by your instructor.  You will follow a rolling, technical track which will give you the opportunity to see magnificent panoramas of the Mont Blanc Massif and the Beaufortain.

There are 3000 metres of negative elevation on a 50 km descent on superb trails in the shadows of our most beautiful Savoie mountains.

Black Friday day format :

You have done half-day Black Friday, it is 1:00 p.m. or 2:00 p.m. and you still want more !?

For the more athletic and enduro and downhill mountain bikers, our instructor will accompany you until the end of the day with an ascent program (an estimated 250 to 400 metres of elevation gain depending on the route chosen by our mountain bike guide) after which you can hurtle down between peaks and valleys on a new route, between linking paths, driveways and single track! You still have a descent of more than 20 km before joining the river Isere, one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe (for kayakers)

Then for the final descent, you’ll head towards the Massif du Beaufortain, you and your Enduro and Downhill mountain bikes safely transported in our specially equipped vehicles with trailers
