The black mountain bike trails in Tignes bike park are split into two categories - Expert and Elite, and they're only to be ridden by the most competent of bikers, with the skills to handle them.
Black MTB trails
Not for the faint hearted, these are technically difficult trails for experts
Black trails - Advanced and expert
Karmasutrail
The longest of the black trails at 3km long with a drop of 340m. It's got some huge kickers and gap jumps, massive banked corners and a steep death drop into two jumps on one section. Definitely one for only the most advanced riders who can handle big air. Start at the top of Tovière and finish on Gypsy red trail then back into the centre of resort.
Black Metal
Very steep, very loose full-on descent - strictly for expert level riders. Distance 1km and descends 250m. Start from top of Aeroski and finish at Rosset.
Moustache
A very tough black trail, with steep narrow and very technical sections which links onto Black Metal. 1km and descends 250m. Start at the top of Aeroski and finish at the top of Black Metal.
Double black trail - Elite
Scarefresse
The only Elite graded track in resort, and as the name suggests it's hard as nails. Start from part way down the Taretaise Airline blue trail and finish above Val Claret, rejoining the red or blue trails back to the village. Expect huge gap jumps and really technical riding.
