Specifically developed bike park in the beautiful setting of Haute-Provence

Open from June through to September the chairlift in the beautiful village of Seyne-les-Aples, gives mountain bikers access to great DH (downhill) trails.

Situated in the Alpes de Haute Provence, between Digne-les-Bains and the Lac de Serre-Ponçon, Seyne is classified as "Station Verte de Vacances et Villages de Neige" and has been called "a little piece of Switzerland lost in the sun of Provence."

With the help of slopestyle, freeride and DH pro rider, Robin Chauvin, the trails at Le Grand Puy have been developed with sheer enjoyment in mind. Good for all levels of mountain biker, the varied runs give a good introduction to DH trails, as well as keeping the experts happy on the black run named 'The Committed', where they say "at the first corner you'll understand".

In addition to the downhill trails there is a pump track of banked turns, bumps and small jumps, aimed at helping improve technique and skill.

Open from the end of May, the chairlift runs each weekend from June until September 10:00 to 17:00, with additional opening on Thursday and Fridays in high season, July and August.
