Downhill
Morzine and the Portes du Soleil has everything you could wish for from super steep and technical tracks to fast and flowing trails with lots of airtime, There is the super fast Pleney cable car which was brand new for summer 2014 with its legendary Pleney mainline and many secret trails to the recently developed Super Morzine area and if you want something more challenging then you can head to the 2011 world championship track in Champery and the 2022 World Champs track in Les Gets.
Morzine mountain biking is right there on the doorstep of our chalets, with all our accommodation only a few minutes ride from the nearest lift station of either the Pleney or the Super Morzine.
There is also Morgins and Les Crosets in Switzerland that offer some great tracks away from the crowds and very accessible from all our chalets.
Enduro Riding
The Portes du Soleil area has many cross country routes that take in the amazing scenery with rewarding climbs and thrilling descents, some of these routes are showcased in the Passportes Du Soleil event which happens the opening weekend of the summer season.
There are a huge amount of marked routes for all levels from beginner tracks along the river path to massive all day excursions across France and Switzerland which traverse ridge lines and climb mountain passes the most famous of which is the Col de Cou.
