Description

Les Gets Bike Park and mountain biking region is set in the French Alps. Like Morzine, it forms one of the many MTB resorts that make up the Portes du Soleil area. It's great for downhill, freeride, and XC. There are 90km of tracks of which 12 are Downhill specific trails. In terms of grading (across disciplines), there are three black, seven red, nine blue, and three green mountain bike trails. Being slap bang in the centre of the Portes du Soleil area you get wider access to 650km of trails. Hence it is popular. The only downside is it can get busy. It has a pump track set up in the town centre.

Fantastic Alps Holiday base

I've used Les Gets a few times now as an Alps holiday base. Once to do the Portes du Soleil and then back a few years after just to redo the best bits. It's a great base and a neat town. Close also to it's sister site Morzine. The trails here are grin inducing and fast. It's hard not to fall in love with the place. 

What do you like?

Fantastic trails for every ability and great facilities in town. 

What could be improved?

Can get busy and breaking bumps.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*

Endless trails, huge jumps and very sore hands!

If you're looking for somewhere to stay for a week or longer that is going to still be offering new trails to explore come the end of the week, then this is the place for you.  The Les Gets Airline is worth a look but definitely more of a pro plus run!

What do you like?

Les Gets is fantastic for Downhillers with several man made courses featuring berms, banks, tunnels, jumps and northshore, the area also appeals to the Cross Country bikers with a staggering 400 miles of bike trails offering some of the best Cross Country and Down Hill Mountain Biking in the Alps. 

What could be improved?

Some of the trails have high usage and therefore get worn down quickly with lots of breaking bumps.  There are a team of people actively working on the trails to repair and build new trails.

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
