MTB Rental
There is some scope for bike rental in the village, with a few bikes at the tennis courts and the new ROSE store possibly hiring bikes also. Complete beginners trying free riding for the first time should be ok. In addition, Bourg d’Oisans has a greater range of MTBs for hire, but the real enthusiast is better off bringing their own bike(s) from the UK to avoid disappointment.
