Description
A major itinerary with magnificent views of the entire Queyras!
A magnificent ride that will take you to the Gilly saddle for a superb view of the surrounding peaks: you’ll be glad you prepped your legs for this first section, which climbs very steeply! After that, it’s pure joy as you descend to Valpréveyre through alpine meadows and larch forests, finishing with a balcony trail and—yet another—superb singletrack!
For this route, you can take the Gilly chairlift (for a fee) or bike up via a connecting trail.
This route is shared by various users: hikers, herds, and trail runners. For more information on the presence of herds, click the link to the dedicated website of the Queyras Regional Nature Park in the “Documentation” tab below.
The trail is open to the public year-round. It is accessible depending on weather and snow conditions, so be sure to wear appropriate gear.
This itinerary is part of the Queyras Bike Park in Abriès-Ristolas. It can be reached from the top of the Gilly chairlift (during opening hours), and is also accessible by pedal via a link. The description only covers the route from the top of the chairlift.
