Experience / Route Details

The main Pass'Portes du Soleil MTB route is a long-distance alpine circuit with a strongly descending profile. The route covers 89 km, with 1,000 m of climbing and 6,000 m of descent, supported by 11 lifts.

This format suits riders who want a full day in the mountains without the feel of an enduro race. The route is designed to balance effort and enjoyment, with lift access helping riders cover a large cross-border area in a single day.

Feed stations are a central part of the experience. Six stops are included along the MTB route, adding a distinctly local flavour to the day as well as regular breaks between riding sections.

For visitors staying in the area, the Avoriaz salon adds another layer to the weekend, with bike tests and access to varied terrain suited to different riding levels.

What’s Included

• Access to the main MTB route over one chosen day
• 11 lift sections on the MTB format
• 6 feed stations along the route
• Choice of 8 departure resorts
