Activity description

The Cirque du Lys ski resort gives way to the Bike park in the summer. So don't wait any longer and come and ride down the Cirque du Lys slopes specially equipped for mountain biking!

Reach the top of the resort, which rises to over 2400 m, from the Lys gondola lift and the Barbat chairlift, a difference in altitude of almost 1500 metres is waiting for you! The bike park's tracks are laid out and equipped with various modules: singles, scree slopes, gaps, steps up,steep bends... await you all the way to the village of Cauterets at 900m altitude!

A little paradise for mountain bikers and thrill seekers, not forgetting beginners! There is something for all tastes and all levels, and there are three of them:

Blue trails for beginner / intermediate downhill riders
Red trails for intermediate / experienced downhill riders
Black trails for experienced downhill riders

Enjoy the panoramic view during your descent! From the top of the peaks of the Lys, you can identify, with the help of the orientation table, the emblematic summits of the Pyrenees: the Pic du Midi, the Vignemale, the Pic du Midi d'Ossau and the Balaïtous .

If you get a little peckish during the activity, the restaurant Le Lys, located at the foot of the slopes, welcomes you on its terrace to eat while enjoying a unique view of the mountains.
