Mountain Biking

We are located in prime mountain biking country. With chair lifts to help you go up the possibilities are endless. Ride the length and breadth of the Portes du Soleil and visit places unreachable in the winter months when the snow is thick on the ground.

Cover many miles on a days ride enjoying cruising the mountain side with the most spectacular views imaginable.

For novice off road cyclists there are many great confidence building trails. There are routes round the back of local nature reserve Mont de Grange, see the other side of the mountain which Chatel faces and enjoy a picnic lunch en-route.

You can ride all the way to Morzine using mountain paths which take you through the famous goat village of La Lindarets, passed the Ardent waterfall and along to Lac Montriond. Then follow the river all the way into bustling Morzine where you can enjoy a great lunch, look round the shops then return home along more great tracks through the forest.

For the dare devils there are steeper, faster and more technical tracks and man made down hill courses all over the area. Super Chatel has two purpose built downhill courses one 'blue' and one 'black'. There are world cup courses in Morzine and Les Gets which host world class competitions.

The Chatel MTB team has been hard at work creating and building over 10 new biking trails at Pre la Joux. There is everything from 4X, to extreme downhill and the long awaited North Shore course. The area is manned by qualified personnel and sponsored by Vario bikes.

There is so much varied biking to do in the PDS that it is rated as one of the best biking areas in the world!
