Plateau Emparis by bike

Flowy trails, good company, remote location and big mountains.
Sweet memories to this epic ride 😎

The next Danny MacAskill

Our "AM-EN skills week" is exactly what it sounds like! Each morning we slow down and take time for skills sessions. During the afternoons the speed goes up and we ride the best allmountain-enduro trails..

Ann is already feeling like Danny MacAskill 😄

Big mountainbiking in The Cerces

🎸 It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n'roll 🎸 ACDC

La Grave mtb

Aaaah, La Grave... does it still needs an introduction?

epic spot, epic riding, solid crew... nuff said 💨💨💨💨🤘🤘🤘🤘

Mountain of Hell

This trail starts at 3200m, but once you've reached this point you arm are burning 🔥 just like your brakes 😄

Exposed trail biking Alpe d'Huez

Eyes on the trail or the view?
That's the question!

Mountainbiking at La Grave

They came just a couple of days for an introduction to Alpine riding... I guess they loved it! Mountainbiking has some new trails addicts 😎

Cameleonbike enduro action

No one around, big mountains, rock slabs all around, no rules, just you and your imagination.

Sentier du roy

We're addicted to riding down mountains, but a good old xc ride is hard to beat! This balcony trails brings all the goods of biking: epic scenery, challenges up & down, flowy sections and constant changing nature.

Epic mountainbiking French Alps

With lots of guests returning each year, we're always looking for new trails. I was really curious how this trail would be welcomed, but it turns out that singletrack + roots + views are always a winner.

Jan-Willem approves the goods around this new spot.

Mountainbike skills clinics

The second part of the "AMEN skills week" is about translating the skills sessions into reality. Switchbacks get more challenging when there's a valley on the side 😄

Jelle taking full profit of his new skills.

Allmountain - enduro biking Galibier

The window of good trail conditions on high altitude is rather short. Early season means lots of snow and late season is often a no-no due to bad weather.... but when the mountains are open to welcome us, the riding is just amazing 🤩

Rene in focus on the trails around the mighty Galibier.

Tricks Alpe d'Huez

This rock slab is getting a classic on our Legenduro trips... but by adding a big nose manual, you just earn bonus points 👍

Jonas making it look easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy

xc challenges

This climb is one hard muthaf***ka!
With the allmountain/enduro bike it is a long hike-a-bike for sure.
But what if you attack it on a light & efficient xc racer?
Only 5 riders showed they could handle

Epic allmountain ride Alps

I just love exploring new trails with friends.

This shot was taken at the end of a loooooooong day out. We finished the route early in the afternoon and had some time for an extra loop. If you know Kristof, than you know you don't need to ask him twice for a "optieluske". Sometimes it turns out as a true sufferfest, sometimes you'll get first class trails and an amazing sunset. I guess we were lucky that day 😊

Bike La Grave

Brraaaaaaaappppp!

Allmountain trekking

The "AM-EN ride heaven" weeks include a 2 day trip with a stay in a mountain hut. The shuttle van drops us at the borders of our region, where we start a 2-day trekking to return to our chalet.

Jimmy and Steven enjoying flowy trails on their way to the mountain hut.

Buech mountainbiking

During spring and autumn we move to the Provence. The southern trails are certainly different than the Alps but just as awesome. Once you get used to the terrain, it's pure rock'n'roll! 🤘

Koen halfway down heading to the little village at the valley floor.

Black earth trails Dignes

Due tho covid restrictions we had to cancel our Alpe d'Huez to Mont Ventoux trip ... but we could offer an alternative! Turns out the bikers loved the trails so much that we added them on our 2021 agenda as the Die-Digne trip 😎

Jan and Gert playing around on the world famous black earth trails.

Mountain fortifications

That's all folks!
Our 2020 season is a wrap. Thanks for all the good times on the trails! 2021 is just around the corner and the start of many new adventures.

now it's time to shut down the screens, to get out and go riding! 🤟🤟🤟
