Mountain Biking

Mountain Biking in Les Gets and throughout the Portes du Soleil is phenomenal!  It is by far the largest and the best place in the Alps. Les Gets has regularly hosted the World Cup, World Championship XC and DH competitions.

Les Gets will host the Mountain Bike  World cup 6 – 17 September 2023

Les Gets, Morzine and Châtel will host the biggest mountain bike event of the season, bringing together all mountain bike formats for the first time in the history of the Mountain Bike World Cup. This major sporting event will attract the best mountain bike riders from around the world to compete.

 Les Gets resort was chosen as the host to the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships presented by Mercedes-Benz for Downhill (DHI) and Cross-Country (XCO) from 24 to 28 August 2022, having previously hosted four rounds of the Mercedes-Benz UCI Mountain Bike World Cup for the same disciplines in 2019 & 2020.
