ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
When the snow retreats, the ski area becomes a bike park: about ninety kilometres of enduro and downhill tracks thread the moraines and snowfields above Plan Maison, with lift access carrying riders to 3,000 m for descents that run over an hour. Down in the valley, e-bike itineraries follow the Valtournenche between the villages — Breuil to Valtournenche to Antey-Saint-André — on quiet roads and forest tracks with the pyramid overhead.
WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
What you’ll experience
You rent from the village shops (full enduro bikes, e-bikes, protective gear), ride the lifts up with the morning crowd of skiers-turned-riders, and drop the Ventina or the moraine lines with the glacier in the mirror. The valley e-bike circuit makes a relaxed half-day with lunch in Valtournenche.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Good to know before you go
Summer lift-bike operations run late June to early September; full-face helmets advised on the bike park lines. Book rental ahead in August.
WHY IT MATTERS
Why it matters
Gravity riding at 3,000 m under the Matterhorn — Cervinia is as much a summer bike destination as a ski one.
