Châtel MTB area

Haute-Savoie ()

Sylvain Cochard

Description

From mountain biking excursion, accompanied or not by a monitor, on the 90km of marked paths of the resort, to the 4x or the Pré-la-Joux bike park, in Châtel you'll be satisfied, whatever your level is.
And every year, new services come to be added to those already existing in order to widen the VTT offer.
Châtel is also a part of the Portes du Soleil area, which means that you'll be able to ride from one resort to the other using lifts and marked tracks, just as skier do in winter time.

The Bike-Park:

The Mountain Bike park is a special area dedicated to mountain biking fanatics, located at Pré-la-Joux/ Plaine Dranse.

Reached via Pierre-Longue and/or Rochassons chairlifts, it offers around twenty downhill routes of all levels of difficulty, maintained and secured by a team of "Bike Patrol". There are two slopestyles (one of them pro).

Please note: a suitable mountain bike, helmet and protective gear are compulsory.

All the jumps of the Mountain Bike Park have some security signs.

Be careful not to overestimate your level. Take your marks before sending any jumps.
Bikers have a washing point at Pré-la-Joux.
