Black volcanic rock??? No, it is marl, therefore sedimentary, called here roubines (or robine, or elephant skin, or black earth)

Magnificent landscapes along the Terres Noires above Dignes. There are several mountain bike trails, including those "des chasseurs" and "Toboggans". The Ravin de la Condanasse, to the east of the segment, had a landslide and its crossing is not the easiest. The small mountain bike trail starting due south may be a good option to bypass this part for a few dozen meters.

Hiking/mountain biking trail at the base, but on the surface generally accessible in gravel with a little piloting technique. Some passages, especially in the scree require a little finesse but nothing impossible or dangerous. Your efforts will be rewarded with exceptional panoramas.

It is supercool to ride in this area, there two parts. The first one you follow a singletrack which is very cool, up and down, left and right, and you have to be very careful not to fall on each side. After that, some minutes rinding in a fireroads and then you reach the other spot. Which is more open and there are a lot of lines, and you can also do some freeriding with some pre-built jumps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of mountain biking experiences can I expect around Digne-les-Bains?
You'll find two distinct experiences: the dedicated EVO Bike Park, known for its diverse, maintained trails and uplift service, and the vast, natural Terres Noires area, offering unique 'badlands' landscapes and extensive natural singletrack. EVO is gravity-fed with various difficulties, while Terres Noires provides an adventurous, often technical, natural riding experience.
Are there bike parks suitable for beginners or families?
EVO Bike Park offers trails suitable for various skill levels, including blue (easy) tracks like the 'Dirty Wave,' which is fast and flowy. While the Terres Noires has trails for all abilities, some require prior MTB experience due to their natural and technical nature. For families, EVO's structured environment might be more approachable.
Where can I find challenging trails for experienced riders?
Experienced riders will find plenty of challenges. EVO Bike Park features black and double black trails like 'Original Gangster' and 'Chainsaw' for steep, technical descents. The Terres Noires is renowned for its technical and physically demanding trails, including the legendary 'Randuro des Terres Noires' loop with sections like 'Les Chasseurs' and 'L'Escure'.
What makes the Terres Noires area unique for mountain biking?
The Terres Noires (Black Lands) are unique due to their distinctive 'badlands' landscapes formed from dark marl sediments. This creates an almost lunar, natural playground with an extensive network of trails, offering a mix of flowy singletrack and technical descents through breathtaking scenery. It's an unparalleled natural mountain biking adventure.
Does EVO Bike Park offer uplift services?
