Black MTB trails
Not for the faint hearted! These are technically difficult trails reserved for experts
The black mountain bike trails in Val d'Isère bike park are split into two categories: Expert and Elite. They're only to be ridden by the most competent of bikers, with the skills to handle them.
You need to head over to the Tignes side of the mountain if you really want to test yourself on some of the hardest MTB tracks.
