Ride Camp Mercantour
Allos in Haute-Provence is one of the most spectacular biking spots in the Western Alps—and yet it has remained a true hidden gem. Located right on the border of the Mercantour National Park, this tranquil mountain village serves as the perfect base for a top-notch week of trail riding. If you’re looking for endless singletrack, rugged expanses, and a touch of that Alaska vibe, you’ll find scenery here that’s second to none.
The routes in Val d’Allos and the surrounding valleys are long, challenging, and often follow singletrack both uphill and downhill. To make the most of the enormous potential of this expansive terrain, the camp is designed exclusively for e-mountain bikes. With tours covering around 2,000 meters of elevation gain, even remote passes and high-alpine gems can be explored—places that would be nearly impossible to reach in a single day using only muscle power.
Allos stands out not only for the trails right on its doorstep but also for its strategic location. The region offers access to some of France’s most famous trail icons: from the legendary Terres Noires in Digne-les-Bains to the red slate cliffs in the Gorges de Daluis, and on to the high-altitude trails around Barcelonnette and the Verdon Gorge.
The base camp is every bit as impressive as the scenic backdrop: for the entire week, the group stays in a spacious, luxurious chalet. The concept emphasizes a genuine camp atmosphere in a private setting—from shared breakfasts and cooking together in the evening to winding down on the terrace with a view of the Provençal mountain ranges.
