Les Gets is located between Lake Geneva and the Mont Blanc mountain range and only one hours drive from Geneva Airport.

During your stay in Les Gets you will discover a whole range of specially prepared MTB circuits:

XC - Cross Country

For the XC die-hards, the almost never-ending trails wind their way up and down the mountains, through the alpine forests, crossing rivers and through alpine pastures. Covering the boarder between France & Switzerland the trails are superb examples of mountain biking at its best. The 'Tour' of the Portes-du-Soleil is an 80km marked trail looping round the whole region. Utilising the network of lifts the tour gives an amazing 80% downhill, 15% on the flat, and just 5% climbing. The 2004 world championships held in Les Gets consisted of a course of 6.5 miles with 30% singletrack and an elevation change of 200m per lap.

DH - Downhill Routes

From straightforward off road riding, forest firetracks and wide grassy slopes to huge jumps, scary landings, impossible surfaces and split second decision making, there are routes to suit all levels of rider. Try out some of the 2004 world circuit in Les Gets or the French National downhill course in Avoriaz.
