La Bresse-Hohneck Bike Park opened from 1 May to 20 September 2026: the 2026 season is over. It had 10 downhill MTB trails, split between 6 technical tracks and 4 freeride tracks, served by the Vologne Express chairlift.
Bottom line: the 2026 season is over and no 2027 dates were published as of 6 October 2026. The times and prices on this page are the 2026 ones, given as a reference. A full-face helmet and a suitable DH bike are compulsory.
2027 season: opening to come
On its Summer page, the operator (Labellemontagne) writes “Saison d’été terminée, RDV cet hiver !” (summer season over, see you this winter). Its Bike Park page mentions only the 2026 opening, from 1 May to 20 September 2026. 2027 season: opening dates, times and prices to come, not announced as of 6 October 2026. No 2027 date is therefore given here.

La Bresse vs other French bike parks
| Spot | Strengths | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| La Bresse | Technical DH, 10 marked trails | Confirmed riders, pure DH |
| Métabief | Enduro, gentler | Progression, families |
| Les Gets | Trail volume, festive vibe | Groups, all levels |
