Flick through any UK mountain bike magazine and you'll soon find an article about Morzine or Les Gets telling you just how good the riding is. The Portes du Soleil is the name given to the massive ski area which links Morzine to Les Gets, Avoriaz, Chatel, and the Swiss resorts of  Champery, Morgin and Torgon. In the summer the Portes du Soleil is transformed into an mountain biking paradise with 24 lifts open to enable you to explore the cross country trails and permanent downhill courses. 

Bike Trails....

Starting in Morzine, the Pleney  or Super-Morzine lifts can take you quickly to the mountain biking trails for family rides of either a half or a full day in duration ( Morzine/Les Gets circuit, Joux Plane circuit)

With 380 kms of mountain trails to explore and chair lifts to get started, Morzine and the Portes du Soleil is well known for the quality of its mountain biking. There is the 100km trail "Tour des Portes du Soleil"

Downhill....

There is a permanent descent trail on the Pleney offering a fast technical descent 3.25 km long.

Events....

Many events are hosted in the area here including the World Cup Downhill in Les Gets.

This year the French championships downhill category will be held in Montriond on the 17,18 and 19th of June. All courses are open to the public throughout the summer.

The Pass Portes du Soleil was held for the first time in the summer of 2004 to replace the Free Raid Classic now held in Les Deux Alpes. The 'passportes' will be held over the weekend of June 24th - 26th and marks the start of the summer season for the area. Your entry fee gives you lots of freebies!
