The view from the Bikers Lodge directly onto the north face of the majestic glaciated peak of La Meije (3983 m) is truly exhilarating. When biking through the traditional mountain villages Les Hieres, Ventelon, Les Terrasses and Chazelet to climb the trails that criss-cross the Alpine meadows above, your eyes will be drawn towards the rugged mountains and glaciers of the Ecrins National Park. Wherever you go, they contrast beautifully with the Alpine flowers, lush green grass and low stone built houses on the south facing slopes of the valley.
