As with so many activities, mountain biking, or as the French call it VTT, in the Chamonix offers something for everyone.

At the more sedate end of the extremes, try a gentle descent by the Arve from Argentiere to Chamonix. Stop for ice creams and then catch the train home again.

At the other extreme, use the telepherique for uplift and then rip it up on some of the best tracks and biggest descents in the Alps.
