#24 of 57 mountain bike trails in France
Alpe d'Huez has about half a dozen downhill trails off the main ski lift. There are also some cross country trails - or rather routes consisting of a combination of hiking trails, back-country roads and sealed roads.
The are some good rides to be had but Alpe d'Huez does not approach the classs of Morzine and other connected towns of the Portes de Soleil.

This is the route followed by the famous Magavalanche, the international definition of enduro madness. It descends a whopping 2500 metres, starting in cold snow and ending in hot dust. There are dozens of videos on Youtube.
| ThankThe problem with the downhill trails at Alpe D'Huez is the dirt. There is some bed rock but you're mainly on glacial moraine, ie, a combination of large boulders, small rocks, stones and fine clay. It makes for a bumpy ride. The cross-country trails vary but overall they aren't too good.
