Mountain bike trails in and around Avoriaz.
Avoriaz is a true bike-in, bike-out resort in summer, as it is entirely car-free. As part of the vast 650km Portes du Soleil mountain biking area, Avoriaz boasts its own dedicated downhill trails and a pump track in the resort centre.
Downhill trails in Avoriaz
From the Tour chairlift, riders can access trails leading down into Les Lindarets:
- Blue (Bleu de Brochaux) – ideal for beginners, featuring banked corners but minimal technical challenges
- Red (Dans le Forêt) – a step up in difficulty with jumps, drops, roots, and rocky sections
- Black (Coupe de France) – a demanding track used in the French National Series in 2007, suitable only for experienced riders
These trails can also be accessed via the Lindarets Express chairlift.
On the Châtel side of the valley, the blue track (Chesery) descends partway before merging with a winter piste. It can be reached from Châtel or via the Chaux Fleurie chairlift. Riders can also take the Mossettes lift to explore the Swiss side (Les Crosets, Champéry, Morgins) or follow an open, rocky "fire road" back to Les Lindarets, which takes around 15 minutes to descend.
Trail connections and scenic routes
- from Les Lindarets, follow the PDS route past Lac de Montriond and continue along the river into Morzine
- a new green trail (Les Alpages), built in 2014, links the Col de la Joux Verte to Super Morzine, eliminating the need to use the road
Super Morzine trails
Super Morzine offers a variety of tracks, accessible via the Super Morzine telecabine and Zore chairlift, or from Avoriaz via the new green track:
- Blue (Tutti Frutti, Cap Canaveral) – packed with jumps and berms, suitable for all ability levels
- Red (DA Trail) – tighter and more technical, with fewer jumps but more roots.
- Black (Hattock, racine Carré) – Challenging trails with plenty of roots, technical sections, and large gap jumps
- Fire road (L'Élé) – a wider trail leading back to Montriond/Morzine
Additional riding spots
A pump track is located near the Rustine bike school at the top of Avoriaz, and another wooden pump track sits in the resort centre.
From the bottom of Avoriaz, riders can take the winter piste Le Crot (known locally as the "Gravalanche") down to Prodains, where they can either return via the 3S lift or cycle back to Morzine.
A scenic trail from the top of Super Morzine leads down into Les Lindarets, forming part of the PDS route.
Trail maintenance and safety
The team at Avoriaz MTB ensures all trails are well signposted, including routes connecting to neighbouring resorts. A dedicated crew of six trail shapers works on continuous improvements, alongside two piste security staff who are available to assist in case of accidents.
