Bike Hire

Free Bike Hire: Specialized Pitch (2018/19)

• Hotel guests: just grab one from our racks
• Chalet guests: Your own bike for the week, at your chalet.
• All sizes: Small, Medium & Large (Age 8 +)
• Suitable Use: Gentle ‘Green’ trails, resort rides & valley floor trails
• Spec: 100mm Front fork, 27.5" wheels, disc brakes 

The Specialized Pitch is a versatile bike that’ll soak up the valley floor trails and the (gentler) high mountain Green trails; yet be equally at home on a family bike ride pottering around the lake or along the river. With a light-weight aluminium frame, front suspension and performance-driven parts, these bikes are the perfect steed for an alpine adventure and their quality of construction will give you the confidence to ride gentle off-road trails and mountain paths. We don’t recommend using this bike for anything more than the easy Green (lift-assisted) trails which are limited in Val’D and Tignes.

Bike Availability

Bikes are available for all our hotel and chalet guests. Hotel guests can grab a bike from our racks whenever they please. For chalets, guests will have their own bike allocated to them for the week as part of our chalet bike upgrade package. For hotel guests, there are plenty of bikes to go around and if you ever have to wait, it’ll be for a short time only. In our experience you will get plenty of time on a bike during your week. 

*For Hotels Fleur des Alpes, Alpina, L’Ours Blanc in Morzine and Pacquis in Tignes: Hire bikes are available from our main (exclusive) Alpine Elements hotels, located nearby.

More on Bike availability

Bikes are available from our main hotels and chalets, so you can grab one from our racks whenever you choose. There are plenty of bikes to go around, and if you have to wait, then it’ll only be for a short time. Our reps will ensure you get more than enough use of a bike during your week.

In our experience it is rare for guests to go without a bike for long. We may have to limit your amount of use to 3 days (20-24 hrs) in any one week and not more than half a day at a time in busy periods. But in our experience, everyone will get more than enough bike-use for their week (or two) away.

Reserve a bike

Hotel guests may reserve a bike to use all week, (with their setting unchanged), for a supplement of £79. Normally, guests get more than enough use of our free bikes (of which there are plenty!). Regrettably we cannot make refunds for pre-reserved bikes in resort.
