There’s a whole heap of great rides in Morzine and the Portes du Soleil, with more than 850 Km of trails, it’s hard to choose the best, but our Active team will give you some Route Cards on arrival and tips for the best rides pitched to your ability. Most of these rides require a full-suspension bike but there's some easier trails you can try using our free-use bikes for families and less confident riders.
Take the Super Morzine gondola from the centre of town, then the Zorres chairlift to the very top. Buy lift tickets at Super Morzine lift. At the top of Zorre, follow the signposted trails down to Lindarets, by bike or by foot. It’s a great walk or ride (downhill all the way) and you can stop for coffee at one of the mountain restaurants.
Optional: From Lindarets, take the Chaux Fleurie chairlift to the Fantasticable - longest zipwire in Europe - or just relax in the sun and enjoy the cafes of Lindarets.
Continue your journey down, via the Goat Village, which is a cute mountain village inhabited by goats and just half a mile from Lindarets. It’s a great stop for lunch and souvenirs. Then continue down to lake Montriond via mountain trails or the tarmaced mountain road (which is easier for beginner bikers). At the lake you can finish the day sunbathing, wild swimming or kayaking. Ride the remaining distance home (downhill all the way) which takes about 20-25 mins.
A circular bike ride or walk starting on the Pleney cable car, which follows gentle fireroad trails down towards Les Gets lake. Enjoy biking or walking at altitude on REAL mountain terrain with incredible views. Suits all ages (5+) and the route is on fireroad (wide, flat off road trail) or tarmac. The lake offers a well deserved rest stop for lunch and you can try the Wibit aqua park or just swim and sunbathe by a pretty lake.
Directions:
Take the Pleney lift to the summit with your bike. You can then follow “Blue 14/C” which is a tarmac access road (the only one) which will take you through the Les Gets Golf course. This smooth tarmac leads to a fire road (gentle offroad track wide enough for a car), which weaves down to “Lac Des Ecoles”, the lake just above Les Gets. The Lac has the Wibit aqua park and the luge track.
Do not attempt to ride the offroad bike trails, stay on the fire road and tarmac trails unless you are a confident rider on a full suspension bike. To return to Morzine, follow the fireroad or access road down into Les Gets town and pick up the main road ( tarmac) out of Les Gets sign-posted to Morzine. It’s an easy cycle, but as a main road it can be busy with traffic, so if you have younger children consider the free shuttle bus home
From the top of the Super Morzine gondola is the new Chiglio singletrack. Packed full of technical features, this trail will test your skills, and sometimes to breaking point! Make sure your bike is well-maintained and you are suitably padded up. Alternative routes down the same mountain (from top of Zorre chair) are signposted green and blue for easier rides back to base, (intermediate and up)
The Pleney Downhill course is one of the area's best known Downhill bike trails. In 3.25kms it drops over 550m. It suits experienced riders on full-sus Downhill machines and is a very well-kept course with banked corners, humps, jumps and technical switchbacks. There is the option of easier routes down and chicken runs through the hardest sections, but even with the option of easy lines, it is a challenge for confident riders.
The Pleney lift also opens up many different routes, with traversing routes making the descent easier. A better option early in your holiday!
The Zore chairlift starts from the top of the Super Morzine Gondola and offers real variety to all ability levels. There are many trails: from moderately easy (green) to harder (blue) & difficult (red) to very difficult (black) trails.
For beginners, there’s the easy Roots route, following a wide piste back to the top of Super Morzine. Da Trail is a more difficult trail, which, after its tree sections, joins Roots part way down.
This area of the Avoriaz sector has been heavily developed recently, with some brilliant new trails and features. From the top of the Zore chairlift, follow the Portes du Soleil along the ridge that has Les Prodains on one side and Lake Montriond on the other.
At the Col de la Joux Verte the route drops down into Les Lindarets’ trees. The Lindarets chairlift accesses a wide range of open and tree runs that’ll keep all levels on full-sus bikes smiling.
