The Riding
Les Gets sits at the heart of the Portes du Soleil (PDS), the largest connected bike park in the world. With 600km of trails, 22 lifts, and 6 dedicated bike parks spanning France and Switzerland, it’s an MTB paradise where you can explore new terrain every day. And it’s all accessible with just one lift pass - the full area Portes du Soleil bike park pass.
-
Take your bike up the mountain on a chairlift, then enjoy the descent without having to pedal back up.
More time riding downhill, with plenty of opportunities to repeat your favourite trails.
-
A mix of purpose-built downhill trails, from flowing berms and rollers to technical roots, rocks and challenging features.
There are trails graded from green, blue, red, and black; from smooth flow trails to more demanding, natural terrain- you really can find it all.
Experience different types of trail in different areas of the bike park - what you ride is completely up to you.
-
Les Gets is one part of the huge Portes du Soleil mountain biking area, linking multiple resorts across the French and Swiss Alps.
With one lift pass, and depending on the time of year, you can ride Les Gets, Morzine, Avoriaz, Chatel, Crosets, Champery, and Morgins bike parks.
Your Riding Level
Our Les Gets retreat is best suited to riders with some mountain biking experience who feel comfortable riding blue trails independently. Whilst most of our guests are happy riding blue trails and above, we’ve welcomed riders of all levels, and everyone has found trails to enjoy and someone to ride with!
There are easier trails in the bike park, so newer riders are welcome, but complete beginners may find it harder to join in with all the group riding. While we’ll always help you feel welcome and connect with other riders, we don’t provide ongoing 1-to-1 riding support outside our planned coaching session, so you’ll need to feel confident choosing trails that suit your ability - we can always point you in the direction of a good coach.
If you’re happy riding independently and keen to build your skills, this could be a great next step!
ACCOMMODATION & FOOD
The Alpine Lodge is a modern chalet with a cool blend of rustic and sleek touches, bursting with alpine cosiness. There is a fire place, an open plan living room that flows out onto a huge sundeck with plenty of comfortable seating, an oversize outdoor hot tub and a BBQ.
The chalet is equipped with a secure garage for bike storage, off road parking if you choose to drive, and has laundry facilities available. It sleeps up to 14 guests, although our retreats are limited to 12 riders.
The Alpine Lodge is located just 400m from the main Chavannes Express chairlift, which is about a 3 minute cycle, it’s also less than a five minute walk to the village centre. So whether you want to grab a coffee, saunter around the shops, or hit the bike park, it’s all on your doorstep. The perfect location for an MTB holiday!
-
You'll be catered for throughout your stay by your very own professionally trained chalet chef.
Continental Breakfast
Available every morning
A self-serve continental breakfast will be laid out each morning, with fresh fruit, yoghurts, cereals, bread, tea, coffee and a selection of pastries from some of our favourite local bakeries. We’ll also have eggs on offer too!
On host day off, we'll make sure you know where everything is the night before.
Family-Style 2-Course Dinner
Available 4 out of 5 nights
After a day on the trails, enjoy a hearty, freshly prepared two-course dinner, cooked by your very own chalet chef.
Family-style dining means there's plenty of food for everyone to help themselves, with no formal mealtimes or fuss. Whether you fancy eating outside in the evening sun, gathering around the dining table or relaxing on the sofa with a film, we want you to feel comfortable, enjoy good food and make the most of the company around you.
Meals will usually be two courses, alternating between a starter and main or a main and dessert.
Think slow-cooked traditional bolognaise with linguine, homemade garlic bread and parmesan, followed by a white chocolate and raspberry brownie with vanilla ice cream.
Simple, delicious and nutritious food, made with quality ingredients and served with good vibes.
Prefer to eat out?
You're welcome to head into town for a meal on any evening during your stay. Just let your hosts know beforehand. This won't affect the price of your holiday.
Drinks
We'll have a stocked beer fridge for you to help yourself to whenever you like. You're also welcome to bring your own drinks and pop them in the fridge.
Snacks
Sweet and savoury snacks will be available to help yourself to after a day on the trails.
Dietary Requirements
We'll do our very best to accommodate any dietary requirements or preferences you let us know about in advance, at no extra cost. While we'll aim to provide suitable alternatives wherever possible, we can't guarantee that all requests can be accommodated.
-
Your chef and host have the evening of day 4 off which means you’ll receive dinner 4 days out of 5.
We can offer recommendations for dinner, and we find that the group often goes out altogether.
A continental breakfast will still be available in chalet on chef & host day off.
-
Your hosts will be in the chalet to cook, and help out during your stay.
They are there in a friendly and relaxed capacity, rather than a formal hosting capacity.
There won’t be any room service, towel changes or mid-week cleans.
The whole aim of this trip is to bring women together to ride in one of the world’s best MTB locations, so casual and relaxed vibes will be abundant.
-
There are 6 large ensuite bedrooms in the chalet, and each will be made up as a twin room.
Your booking will be for one bed in a shared twin room, unless otherwise specified; the person you are sharing with will be another member of the SheRides collective, unless of course you choose to book a private room.
Private sole occupancy rooms will be made with a double bed.
Room 1A spacious second-floor twin, or double bedroom, with access to balcony (shared with Room 2). Ensuite facilities including WC, wash basin and shower.

This room is available to book for up to 2 people.
Room 5
Generous Double Loft Room - £50pp supplement
A great option if you'd like a little more room and extra comfort during your stay. Located on the third floor, this larger room features two double beds, positioned separately from one another to give each guest their own space and a little more privacy, coupled with a large ensuite.
Available for two guests only, with each guest enjoying their own double bed.

Room 6
A spacious ground floor twin, or double bedroom, with ensuite facilities including WC, wash basin and shower.

-

This option does incur the ‘single occupancy fee’ of £300 on top of the shared room price.
-

A riding community, not just a riding holiday
Coming on a mountain biking holiday with people you’ve never met can feel daunting, especially if you’re travelling solo. That’s why we’re all about helping you make connections, find your riding crew, and bringing women together.
-
We’ll help you connect with other riders, make introductions and find people with similar riding interests and goals.
-
The coaching session gives you the opportunity to develop your skills and build confidence. Beyond that, riding together, sharing laps and discovering the trails as a group often happens naturally as friendships form throughout the week.
-
We want you to feel comfortable and included, while recognising that everyone rides at a different pace. You’re responsible for choosing trails that suit your ability, and while we’ll always encourage and support you, our retreats aren’t a one-to-one guiding or coaching service outside the activities provided.
-
Booking a holiday with people you don’t know takes courage, riding with them takes even more.
We know that turning up to ride with a group of strangers can feel daunting, so we’ll always do our best to help you find your feet, connect with other riders and feel part of the crew.
Whether that means finding women who share your riding pace, teaming up with someone for a few laps or joining a group heading out for the day, we’ll help you find your people so you can spend less time worrying about fitting in, and more time enjoying your riding.
Getting women together to ride is kind of our thing!
We want every woman who joins us to feel welcome, make new riding friends, build confidence, and create memories along the way.
But don't just take our word for it… here's what our guests have to say!

-
Booking a riding holiday with people you don't know takes a little courage, but that's where the fun begins! We know that turning up to a group of strangers can feel daunting, so we want to make those first introductions easy and help everyone feel welcome and part of the crew.
From getting to know each other over breakfast to sharing stories after a day on the trails, there's plenty of opportunity to make new friends and connections that last long after the retreat ends.
Getting women together to ride is kind of our thing!
-
One of the best things about a SheRides retreat is having other women to share the riding experience with. Whether you're keen to spend the day lapping the bike park, exploring new trails or taking things at a more relaxed pace, there's room to find your own rhythm.
You'll also have a dedicated group coaching session to develop your skills and build confidence.

What We Organise
-
You’ll have your own private chalet chef to cook you fresh and delicious meals that include:

2 course, family style dinner 4 nights out of 5, giving you the opportunity to try one of the fantastic in resort restaurants
Snacks available throughout your stay
Stocked beer fridge
-
Enjoy a 3-hour coaching session with a qualified MTB coach, designed to help you build confidence, develop your riding skills and get more out of your time on the bike.
When booking, you can choose between two coaching options: Core Skills or Jumping, depending on what you'd most like to focus on.
Sessions are delivered in small groups and follow a planned focus, rather than being individually tailored to each rider, with groups organised around riding ability to help everyone get the most out of the experience.
We always aim to have a female coach leading the sessions, although circumstances may mean your session is led by a male coach.

What You Need TO Organise
-
You’ll need to book your own flights and arrange your own airport transfers to get you to Les Gets.
Flights
Buy your own flights - the closest airport to fly into is Geneva (GVA)
Transfers
There are multiple transfer companies that operate all summer long offering shared and private transfers.
A shared transfer is a single seat in a van that will leave at a set time after a flight arrives; it's open to be booked by anyone and there are multiple throughout the day.
A private transfer is solely booked by you and / or your group for exclusive use and will leave according to your schedule.
We partner with Skiidy Gonzales who will take care of everything for you. They are offering all our guests a 10% discount on transfers. A promo code will be sent to you upon booking.
*Note depending on the time of the season only private transfers may be available.
-
You will need to buy your own lift pass to access the bike park trails via the chairlifts.
Les Gets is a lift-accessed bike park, so you’ll need a lift pass to ride the chairlifts and gondolas, giving you full access to the mountain and the trails.
A full Portes du Soleil lift pass is recommended for this trip
Price
A full area lift pass for an adult, 26-64 years, is approximately €34 per day or €137 for 4 days (as per the online prices at the time of writing, prices may vary). There are different price options for different age categories and some special offers, so always check online in advance. These are guideline prices only, we cannot guarantee lift pass prices.
Check out this link for more information:
www.lesgets.com/en/lift-pass/summer-lift-pass-prices/
You can purchase lift passes in a few different ways:
Via our partner - your lift pass will then be waiting for you in the chalet (we will send you more information about this after you have booked).
Book online and pick them up in resort.
In resort, at the ticket office - it’s generally cheaper online, but the office staff are super friendly and speak great English.
-
You’ll need to bring your own bike or hire locally.
Bringing Your Bike
We have a large, secure garage in which you can store your bike. If you’ve never travelled with your bike before, it’s really easy. Most guests fly with their bike packed in a bike bag or box. We’ve partnered with Adventure Kit Hire, so you can rent a high-quality bike bag for your trip - and SheRides guests get a discount code, you’ll automatically get this in your booking confirmation.
*This is an affiliate link, which means we may receive a small benefit at no extra cost to you.
Bike Hire
Don’t want to bring your bike?
Hiring a bike in Les Gets can range from anywhere between €80 and €150 per day with a huge variety of bikes and specs on offer. There are also deals and offers that run throughout the summer, so it’s worth noting that this is a guideline price.
-
All guests are required to have comprehensive travel insurance that covers this specific type of mountain biking, and includes (but is not limited to) emergency medical treatment abroad, trip cancellation, and travel disruption - such as flight delays or missed connections.
Please do not rely on your EHIC (or equivalent) card as it will not cover the cost of a mountain rescue.
-
Tourist tax is a local tax charged by the French authorities to visitors staying in tourist accommodation. It helps support local tourism services and facilities as the tax you pay goes directly into funds that can only be used to improve the locality.
This tax is not included in your retreat price and will be collected directly by the chalet company before your stay, via the email address you provide when you book.
Tourist tax is around €2.30 per person, per night.
