Guided MTB Outings in Annecy

Ride the best trails around Lake Annecy with a state-certified guide — in classic MTB or electric mountain bike, whatever your level.

From beginnere-MTB availableHalf & full dayCertified guides

Discover mountain biking around Annecy the easy way: let an experienced guide take you to the finest trails while you focus on the fun. Our guided outings run on the Semnoz, the Montagne d'Âge and in the Aravis, and are tailored to your level — from a gentle first ride to a committed single-track session.

What's included

Every outing is led by a state-certified instructor who knows the terrain inside out. We take care of the route, adapt the pace to the group and brief you on safety before setting off. A helmet and expert advice are always provided, and a quality bike can be added through our rental service.

Choose your format

The electric mountain bike (e-MTB) has opened up the sport to everyone: it erases the effort of the climb and lets a mixed-ability group ride together. We offer a beginner discovery outing on the Semnoz to learn the basics in confidence, and a more advanced session for riders who want flowing, technical single-tracks. Prefer classic MTB? That works too — just tell us your level.

Where you'll ride

The Semnoz offers a 360° panorama and descents ranked among the most beautiful in France, all 25 minutes from town. For a full mountain experience, the Aravis and La Clusaz add 125 km of marked trails with summer chairlifts. Your guide picks the route that best matches your level and the conditions of the day.

Good to know: bring water, snacks, weather-appropriate clothing (it can be much cooler in the mountains) and, if you have it, your own helmet. Outings are best booked in advance, especially in July and August.
