The Vallée Blanche by e-bike

Take advantage of the paths and tracks of Les Deux Alpes on both sides of the mountain. On your left, the mountain stretches upwards to the 3400 m glacier, while on your right, you have the Vallée Blanche with its summit, Le Pied Moutet, at 2339 m.

ROUTE
Tou have a choice of 3 routes in this area.

Route 1
Starting from the bottom of the Vallée Blanche chairlift, turn to the right and cycle for 300 m along a pretty path shared by pedestrians and cyclists. Then go up the 4-WD track to the Kanata Bergerie and head for the top of the Côte chair lift. Cross over the "green" downhill mountain bike track and take a balcony path to the top of the Vallée Blanche chairlift and then the green track back down to Les Deux Alpes.

Route 2
8 km and 350 m height gain.
Starting from the bottom of the Vallée Blanche chairlift, turn to the right and cycle for 300 m along a pretty path shared by pedestrians and cyclists. Then go up the 4-WD track to the Kanata Bergerie and head for the top of the Côte chair lift. Cross over the "green" downhill mountain bike track and carry on uphill on a balcony path to the top of the old Bons chairlift. From the ridge, with its view over the Bourg d'Oisans plain, go down towards La Molière on the 4-WD track and then take the track down to Les Deux Alpes.
The second option, which is a little more technical: from the Restaurant de la Molière, take the balcony path to Le Sapey (take care as it's quite tricky). At the entrance to the hamlet, go down to le Penail on the old mule path. Cycle back up the road from Les Travers or go up the 4-WD track following signs to Les Posettes and then Les Deux Alpes.

Recharging: in restaurants in Les Deux Alpes.

Route 3: The ridge to the Refuge de la Fée (17 km and 750m height gain)

From the ridge, carry on along the 4-WD track to the lake at the Grand Plan du Sautet. Take the track off to the left to the Refuge de la Fée mountain hut.
