With the chair lift being open every day in August, and at the week-ends in July, mountain bikers can enjoy the thrill of the descent in the free ride park (www.sauzefreeride). Those less energetic can take the chair lift up to Sportina and relax in the sunshine and enjoy lunch at one of the restaurants on the mountain. E-bike on rent in many shops.
