About this cycling week
Trail Building Week at the Bike Center – Build and Maintain MTB Trails
Domaine du Frigoulet starts each new season with a week dedicated to trail building. During this week, together with our guests, we aim not only to ride the trails around Frigoulet, but also to build them, clear vegetation, dig, and maintain them. Few experiences are more rewarding than creating your own trail, taking part in route selection, and finally testing and riding the result of your work.
The trail building week is structured so that guides accompany you on bike rides in the mornings. In the afternoons, it is time to pick up the shovel and rake. In the unique wild landscape of Ardèche, the guides show how new trails are created and how existing trails are maintained, refined, and improved.
During this early-season week, social moments are an integral part of the experience. The trail building week is entirely dedicated to biking and trails. Start the new cycling season in a relaxed and creative way.

Sunday – Friday
The week will be a mix of riding and trail maintenance. Singletrack routes will take us through a wild landscape and a wide variety of trails. Pine forests with sandy ground alternate with Mediterranean vegetation and rocky paths, constantly offering fantastic views over the wild Ardèche gorges.This week is not only about riding the trails, but also about improving them, creating new ones, and maintaining them using hedge trimmers, shovels, and rakes. Guests will have the unique opportunity to take part in the maintenance of a mountain bike station and its trails, and to express creativity by designing their own route.
