USING LIFTS
Here you’ll find information about the lifts and cable cars that allow you to travel with a bike. Bike transport is ideal for downhill fans or anyone who wants to get up high before starting a longer ride. Of course, you can also transport your bike back to the valley if you’re not keen on racing down the mountain on two wheels. It’s certainly a smoother, safer ride and you’re protected from the weather.
