Tour of the Mont-Fort - Easy rider

MTB & E-bike

The Easy Rider version of the Tour du Mont-Fort is aimed at a very wide public, from sporty families with children aged 12 and over to people who just enjoy a great mountain bike ride. Every time that it is possible, the uphill parts of the tour are made via the ski lift systems of Nendaz, Veysonnaz and Verbier. This itinerary gives pride of place to the downhill parts as you don't even need to pedal for over 2/3 of the way. The technical level required is not high. This itinerary can be a perfect discovery tour in the mountains for those who prefer pleasure to performance.

Reach the top of Tracouet with no effort thanks to the gondola. For this itinerary, follow the signpost numbers 133, 129 and 43.

Enjoy a moments on the edge of the Lac Noir before beginning your descent towards Sofleu. At the intersection, take the forestry track l’Aplanie off to the right and follow it to Siviez.

In Siviez, take the Tortin chairlift and then the Gentianes cable car. At the summit, follow the only track which leads downhill towards Verbier, passing via la Chaux and les Ruinettes. You then pass above the golf course in Verbier.

At the Médran gondola, take the route de Ransou and then the route des Creux until you reach the Savoleyres gondola, which you take. At the top of the gondola, follow the track along the ridge.
