Mountain Biking and Skiing in Crots for a Complete Escape
Our lodge offers a range of mountain bikes equipped with oversized tires—about twice as wide as those on a traditional bike. Fat biking lets you ride on all types of terrain: packed snow, sand, mud, pebbles, roots, and even pavement for added comfort. It’s the ultimate four-season bike. Visually striking, the Fat Bike naturally draws attention and invites even beginners to give it a try. Stable, reassuring, and easy to handle, it becomes even more accessible with electric assistance, opening the experience to a wider audience.
We also provide a selection of Nordic backcountry skis (cross-country backcountry skiing). It’s not quite cross-country skiing, alpine touring, or downhill skiing—yet it combines elements of all three, along with techniques from telemark skiing. In fact, it is the origin of these disciplines. This activity allows you to fully immerse yourself in nature, blending the joy of gliding with the discovery of nearby and remote landscapes. Practiced off-track and away from crowded trails, it is a gentle, environmentally friendly sport that requires no infrastructure. Nordic backcountry skiing is about exploration, leisure, and all-terrain freedom—with a free heel and endless possibilities.
You can choose between Nordic backcountry skiing and cycling as outdoor activities near Embrun.
