You will find mountain villages with restaurants, stunning alpine scenery, wildlife, waterfalls, view points, churches and activities to try as you explore the many walking trails. Try the Fantasticable (longest zip wire in Europe) and mountain lakes for wild swimming, kayaking or the goat village to name a few.

Bikers will find 800km of trails, with beginner trails, intermediate Cross Country and more advanced Downhill. Try the Portes du Soleil circuit which loops through the Swiss resorts of Chatel, Morgins, Champery and Les Crosets.

We include a full area (Tignes & Val D’Isere) lift pass with all holidays, for both walking and biking, so it’s a real bonus! There may be fewer lifts than the Portes du Soleil, but the area each lift covers is greater and you get a biking pass, too! Discover more than 350 kms of trails and some stunning alpine scenery, wildlife, mountain activities and lakes. 

Your pass will also cover the funicular railway (a mountain train) which goes up to the glacier at 3000m for snowline glacier walks and even summer skiing!

Morzine Lifts for bikers

  • Lift pass: €5 per uplift (€180 per week)  
  • Altitude range 980m to 2430m 
  • Up to 25 Lifts open

Mountain bikers can also use the chairlifts and gondolas, which have been converted to hold bikes. The lift system (25 lifts) is open to bikers and walkers all summer long, so you can access 800+Km’s of tracks and trails spanning the Franco-Swiss border of the immense Portes du Soleil.

Downhill riders will enjoy the fact that you can spend less time pushing uphill and more time blasting down the other way; and Cross Country riders will love that sense of adventure that comes from covering huge distances, knowing you can always get back home easily enough. Try the Portes du Soleil circuit which loops through the Swiss resorts of Chatel, Morgins, Champery and Les Crosets.
