The Portes du Soleil area offers 600 km of mountain bike trails between Switzerland and France. Discover the routes proposed in Region Dents du Midi with the GPS tracks we propose below. These accessible loops criss-cross the domain and link the region’s resorts, mainly using 4×4 tracks and secondary roads. Along the way, you’ll come across ‘DH’ variants offering you the chance to ride down the tracks of our bike park, and also trails to explore where hikers and mountain bikers live side by side.

Trails
