Training Zone MTB Avoriaz
Avoriaz
The perfect spot
To start mountain biking… as a family!
Dreaming of trying mountain biking in the mountains without pressure, oversized bumps or scary downhills? Avoriaz is made for you.
Here, there’s no need to be a pro to have fun! Whether you’re coming with kids, teens, or you’re a complete beginner yourself. Everything is designed to guide you, step by step (or rather, pedal by pedal).
Pop Corn Bikeyard
The Pop Corn Bikeyard – a fun little MTB zone for kids and total beginners!
This summer, the resort is taking another step to make mountain biking accessible to everyone with the opening of a brand-new ultra-beginner area in Avoriaz – perfect for a first-time experience. Kids and beginners will love this fun area, called the Pop Corn BikeYard, dedicated to learning and equipped with features adapted to their size and/or skill level. A great way to get started gently, safely… and with a big smile! You’ll find a dual slalom, 5 learning modules, and an initiation trail with a few banked turns and small bumps.
And to make the experience even easier, the Écoles draglift has been adapted for bikes, with an innovative system that even lets young riders go uphill while seated on their bikes – no stress, no effort.
A real boost to gain confidence on those first downhill runs. Located on the plateau, the Pop Corn BikeYard completes a zone already featuring a small dirt pumptrack. And for those who want to try freestyle safely, head to the MTB airbag – a giant inflatable cushion for testing jumps without the risk of injury.
🎈Arrive as humble little kernels… and leave pumped up like popcorn, ready to take on the bike park!
A smooth and accessible playground
In Avoriaz, the Bike Park is designed to make learning fun.
The trails are progressive, smooth, and flowing. Perfect for building confidence without fear.
A special mention goes to the green trail Fourmiz, a family-friendly run that passes through the famous Lil’Stash.
It’s a magical forest world with wooden huts, gentle turns, and a fairytale atmosphere.
Directly accessible from the beginner area on the plateau, it’s ideal for mountain bike rides with the whole family.
