The Morzine-Avoriaz MTB area
Halfway between Mont-Blanc and Lake Geneva, Morzine-Avoriaz is in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, one of the largest mountain biking areas in the world. In the 1990s, Morzine was one of the first resorts to rethink its winter ski area as an MTB summer area (opening of the Pléney downhill slope in 1996). In summer, 22 ski lifts are equipped for the transport of MTB to reach the summits between France and Switzerland. Hit the slopes, hike or just relax… All mountain bikers can find a path or trail that matches their level. The central position of Morzine makes it possible to reach the village by gravity from most of the Portes du Soleil ski lifts. Here, we find a real MTB culture with an adapted infrastructure, specialized stores and a friendly “après-MTB”.
