Just as well, because Morzine and the Portes du Soleil MTB area are among the best MTB destinations in Europe and deemed by the vast majority of enthusiasts to be the mountain biking Mecca. It’s true that in Morzine-Avoriaz you’ll find all the right conditions for MTB.
The Portes du Soleil MTB area is one of the biggest MTB parks in Europe with an endless variety of terrain, tracks and trails for downhill, freeride and cross-country biking, something for everyone and all levels of ability. The Portes du Soleil MTB trails are colour-coded just like the ski slopes. The green tracks are ideal for families and beginners as they are usually not very difficult, well maintained and the slopes are not too steep. The perfect terrain for novices!
For experienced mountain bikers who would like to take on the very best MTB tracks in the French Alps, we recommend the blue, red or even black trails. You can therefore set off along steep and technical downhill tracks that require excellent control, self-confidence and exemplary technical skills.
