      The Pic du Jer is a must-visit spot for all mountain biking enthusiasts. Accessible by funicular, it offers easy access to the heights of Lourdes before tackling a truly unique mountain bike descent. Here, the mountain transforms into a veritable playground: singletracks, banked turns, technical sections, and smoother stretches follow one another to offer a complete experience, suitable for different skill levels. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or an experienced rider, everyone can find their enjoyment on these trails designed for pure fun.


      Varied and technical courses

      The site is renowned for the quality of its downhill mountain biking trails, which are well-maintained and regularly used by top athletes. Some sections even host international competitions, a testament to their demanding nature and reputation. But rest assured: the Pic du Jer isn't just for pros. Several trails allow intermediate riders to test their skills and progress in a safe environment. It's the ideal place to hone your riding skills, practice your jumps, or simply enjoy the adrenaline rush of a mountain bike descent with breathtaking views of the Pyrenees.


      A perfect mix of sport and scenery

      Beyond the sporting challenge, riding at Pic du Jer also means enjoying an exceptional natural environment. Between descents, riders can look up and admire a breathtaking panorama of Lourdes and the surrounding peaks. This combination of mountain biking and fresh air makes each outing unique, whether you come alone, with friends, or in a group. After the exertion, it's even possible to extend the day with a friendly break on a terrace or a relaxing moment in town.

    Once at the top, you can walk up to the cross (15 minutes). The descent to the departure station takes 1 hour and 15 minutes at a leisurely pace. Good footwear is recommended as some sections are slippery.
