Pont des Gets

An intermediate ride from Morzine with added descent and ascent from Avoriaz

Location
Les Gets
Imprint
Updated

A short and easy to follow route that has a steady but not too steep climb, the highest point of which is Les Gets.

Climb up out of Morzine (or down from Avoriaz and then up out of Morzine) in the direction of Les Gets on the main road D902. Drop down the descent through Pont des Gets and onwards to Taninges. Ride briefly through the town and take a right turn signposted Rond to climb up to the Pont des Gets and return to Morzine, or Avoriaz, the way you came through Les Gets. Although the D902 is a busy road the descent to Taninges is fast so not many cars will overtake. The climb up to Rond for the return to the Pont des Gets is very quiet.

Distance - 50km

Time - 3 to 4 hrs

Highest point - Les Gets 1172 m
