SUMMER ACTIVITIES

Mountain Biking

Morzine is in the centre of the Portes du Soleil region, and has fast become the No.1 European location for mountain biking, being on the World Cup circuit for both downhill and trial races. 24 interlinked ski-lifts, adapted to carry mountain bikes, operate in the area to help you gain access to over 650 kilometres of marked bike trails. This makes the Portes du Soleil, the largest lift-linked mountain bike circuit in the world!

Cross Country & Freeride trails

The Portes du Soleil which links France and Switzerland, offers marked routes and itineraries for all levels of ability. Whether its biking trails for family rides, or more extreme x-country and freeride routes you’re after, there is something for everybody!

For those bikers new to riding in Morzine especially, the area is so vast, it’s a good idea to go out with a local guide, which we can arrange.

Downhill

With 9 permanent downhill courses in the Porte de Soleil there is a great deal of choice. From the Avalanche Cup course on the Pleney to the super technical France Cup course at Linderets. Tracks built specifically for the Swiss National Championships are an excellent addition to the already impressive selection of Downhill courses found in the area.

If required we can also arrange bike hire.

Road Biking

The Tour de France is a regular event here, and with good reason. The area is home to the world famous ‘Col de Joux plan’ & ‘Col de Ramaz’ circuits. Gruelling and punishing, yet equally rewarding. These arduous mountain passes are both amazing mountain climbs to achieve within the course of your stay. We have an extensive knowledge of routes in the area that very in distance and pain! Riding in the Alps can be very different to riding anywhere else in the world. The climbs can be very sustained. You need to have a good level of fitness and be confident with descending at speed on your bike.

For all-day routes we are also able to provide vehicle support.
