Bike Hire
One thing you’ll need is a good quality, well sorted bike to ride when holidaying in the Alps. And this is the reason we put a lot of care and attention into our bike fleet. As a veritable ‘mountain bike heaven’ – the Alps have some seriously great rides, and not just for the experts… One thing’s for sure - whether you’re a complete newcomer or a family looking for a (very) fun day out, then you’re going to want to give it a go!
Hire bikes come included (for free) with every holiday, either for 3 or 6 days, (depending on which property you’re staying in). Our bike fleet is new (2016-18) and full of high quality bikes in all sizes. They’re perfect for valley floor trail riding, resort pottering and some lift assisted Green trails of the ‘not-so-steep’ variety.
If biking is a big part of your holiday and you want to use the high altitude, lift assisted trails then we’d advise you to get a well sorted full suspension bike, like our ‘Enduro Evo’ below. In Tignes and Val ‘D we recommend a Full Sus’ bike for ALL lift assisted trails, Green and above.

A versatile bike that’ll soak up the valley floor trails and the gentler Green runs and 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 do not recommend using this bike for any lift-assisted trails in Val D’Isere or Tignes and only for a selection of the easier Greens in Morzine and Les Gets.
- Quick Spec’: Front fork: 100mm | 27.5" wheels | Mechanical Disc Brakes
- Suitable Use: Light use on Green Trails & Valley Floor trails
