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
Les Gets bike park has something for everyone, from complete beginners to advanced riders, with trails to suit all abilities, from green upwards. However, you'll probably get the most out of the trip if you're already comfortable riding blue trails independently.
Whatever your ability, you must feel confident riding independently, choosing trails that suit your level and managing your own riding. You'll be joining a group of like-minded women, so there's a good chance you'll find others to ride with and share the experience. Our SheRides ambassador will be on hand to help you get your bearings, point you in the right direction and connect you with other riders, but they aren't a guide or coach and won't be providing ongoing 1-to-1 riding support.
If you're happy riding independently and keen to explore the trails, build your confidence and enjoy some time in the mountains with like-minded women, we'd love to have you along!
ACCOMMODATION
The Alpine Loft is a modern chalet that beautifully blends rustic charm with sleek, contemporary touches, creating a warm alpine feel throughout. A high vaulted ceiling enhances the open-plan living space, adding light and character. The living and dining area flows seamlessly onto a private balcony/terrace, complete with comfortable seating and a BBQ — perfect for soaking up the fresh mountain air.
The chalet is equipped with secure bike storage and off road parking if you choose to drive.
The Alpine Loft 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!

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. You'll also be invited to join a private pre-retreat WhatsApp group, giving you the chance to get to know everyone, chat about your trip and connect with potential riding buddies before you even arrive.
-
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 don’t offer a one-to-one guiding or coaching service.
-
Booking a holiday with people you don't know takes courage. We get that!
One of the best things about a SheRides retreat is the opportunity to meet like-minded women who share your love of mountain biking. Our ambassador will help make introductions, connect riders with similar abilities and interests, and help you find your feet when you arrive.
Whether you're looking for someone to explore the bike park with, share a few laps or simply grab a coffee with after riding, there's a good chance you'll find your people.
Getting women together through mountain biking 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!

What We Organise
-
A friendly SheRides Ambassador Rep will be your point of contact on arrival day and the first morning of riding. They'll be available at the chalet when you arrive and will help everyone get organised for their first day on the mountain – from getting to the lifts and checking everyone has their lift passes to helping you get your bearings. They'll also be available on WhatsApp throughout the trip if you have any general questions or need a little help.
The Ambassador Rep isn't there to guide, coach or organise group rides. They may choose to join other guests for a ride during the week, but this would be in a personal capacity and not as part of their SheRides role. You'll be responsible for planning your own riding, choosing trails suited to your ability and riding independently.
-
Join a private WhatsApp group with your fellow guests before the retreat and stay connected throughout your stay. Get to know each other, share riding plans, arrange meet-ups on the mountain and keep in touch long after the trip!
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 upon booking.
Tourist tax is around €2.30 per person, per night.
