A resort designed for mountain bikers<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pra Loup makes your mountain bike day easier as soon as you arrive in the resort. Adapted ski passes, access to the lifts, equipment rental, washing station and tool space allow you to ride more serenely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can come with your own bike or rent a mountain bike directly on site. This is handy if you want to test downhill, try a full suspension mountain bike or simply travel lighter during your vacation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After your outing, the resort also allows you to extend the day: terrace in the sun, gourmet break, family walk, 4-season sledging or other summer activities. Mountain biking then becomes a real stay experience, not just a sporting activity. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prepare your mountain bike outing in Pra Loup<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Before leaving, remember to check the opening of the ski lifts, the weather conditions and the condition of the slopes. In the mountains, the weather can change quickly and some routes require a good physical condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the descent, protection is strongly recommended: adapted helmet, gloves, knee pads and protection according to your level of practice. If you’re just starting out, don’t hesitate to start with the easiest slopes and ask for advice from the professionals on site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the shared routes, remain attentive to other users: hikers, families, herds, pastoral vehicles. Respecting the paths and the environment also means preserving the pleasure of riding in Pra Loup. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
