Virtual tour of the passes
The Arcelle Enduro mountain trail is mostly a track and singletrack itinerary. This beautiful balcony path, with views of the Vanoise glaciers, the Dent Parrachée and Bessans Valley, won't fail to impress!
Description
Despite the name (which means "Art of the Saddle"), you won't be sitting much on this trail. You'll need to stand and find the right saddle contact for the fabulous descent. From Mont Cenis Pass or the Val Cenis lifts, you'll ride across the mountain on a singletrack balcony path for about 6 km. You can rest the brakes on a few sections before plunging down to the valley, but the steeper parts are not particularly technical. This descent alternates between Alpine pasture and forest. Besides some lovely paths it offers a bird's-eye view over the valley. So why the name "Art de la Selle"? This is in fact a play on words, as the itinerary takes you close to the hamlet of Arcelle.

Localisation
Start of the trail at Col du Mont-Cenis
However, a departure is possible from the Val Cenis lifts in summer (July and August):
- Val Cenis Lanslevillard: this option saves you a 3.8 km crossing on the piste.
- Val Cenis Termignon: you'll have to cross on a 6 km run, adding 150 D+ and 160 D-.
I'm going by bus: to get to the lift departures only: line S53 - Mairie / Maison de la Vanoise stop for Val Cenis Termignon - Télécabine du Vieux Moulin stop for Val Cenis Lanslevillard.
Possibility of joining the start by enduro ascent.
