Mountain biking: share and protect natural areas

The mountains are a shared space, and a few rules apply:

  • Respect authorised MTB routes

  • Control your speed, especially in busy areas

  • Give priority to hikers

  • Avoid riding off trails to help preserve the ground

  • Adapt your riding to terrain conditions

Respect wildlife and plant life

Pralognan is located in the immediate vicinity of the Vanoise National Park, a protected natural area:

  • Do not pick flowers

  • Do not feed animals

  • Keep dogs on a leash

  • Take all your waste with you

  • Respect the peace and quiet of the mountains

Here, you may spot marmots, ibex or chamois in their natural habitat — a privilege worth preserving.
