MTB


Explore one of the biggest MTB parks on the planet!

The same lift-pass gives you access to all trails and parks.
Ride through the Portes du Soleil?s 12 village-resorts and explore 650 km of slopes and 20 mountain lifts!
There's something for everybody: cross-country, Enduro and downhill.

The Portes du Soleil: a massive territory that's MTB heaven on earth...
Thanks to the Portes du Soleil's size and topography, riders can take in an ever-changing landscape, from treelined singletracks in the forest, to wider and easier routes across Alpine meadows that you'll share with cow herds grazing on the lush grass. Take advantage of the 22 mountain lifts on offer to hop over the Franco-Swiss border with incredible panoramas on offer for your ride downhill.
Around 20 bike patrollers make daily checks and carry out running repairs to ensure the tracks and parks are safe and up to scratch.
