The centrepiece of mountain biking in Les Gets, the bike park spreads over three sectors linked by lifts that carry bikes. This page brings together what the tourist office and the lift company publish: trail numbers and types, skills areas, lifts, 2026 season dates and practical points. Where official sources contradict each other or say nothing, we flag it.

The bike park in numbers

The tourist office lists 128 km of waymarked trails. Another official page says “more than 120 km”: the scale is the same, so go by the latest official map. Trails are maintained daily by a team of bike patrollers (9 according to the tourist office’s Bike page, 8 according to its Services pages).

Trails by type

The bike park FAQ published by the tourist office gives the following breakdown, repeated on the Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc listing updated by the tourist office on 24 June 2026:

Note the contradiction: the official e-MTB page mentions 6 e-bike routes, not 5. Both figures sit side by side on the tourist office website.

Trail grading colours

As on the ski slopes, difficulty is shown by colour:

• green: easy;
• blue: intermediate;
• red: difficult;
• black: very difficult;
• black-and-white chequered: reserved for the most committing trails.

No official count of trails per colour was published on the pages we checked. We only know that a new blue trail has been added, that “Les Écureuils” is a green of around 5 km through the forest suited to beginners, and that “La Roue Libre” appears as a blue on the official map. For everything else, rely on the interactive bike park map and the 2026 MTB map in PDF.

Three sectors, three styles

Mont Chéry carries the World Cup track: demanding terrain best left to confident riders. To compare the resort’s two sides, see also our Mont Chéry or Chavannes page, written for winter but handy for getting your bearings.

Skills areas and play zones

Beyond the trails, the bike park includes several dedicated areas, described on the Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc listing supplied by the tourist office:

• 3-hectare Jump Park: bridges, jumps and wooden features; there is also a mini Jump Park with wooden features.
• 4-Cross: a four-rider race track, also mentioned on lesgets.com.
• Dual slalom: a side-by-side track.
• Pump tracks: the listing mentions two; the lesgets.com Bike page does not, so confirm on site.
• Kid Zone: an area for children.
• Coaching Track: on the Chavannes side, six exercises to practise braking, balance, table-tops and tight turns.
• Video Park: mentioned on lesgets.com, without further detail.

The Coaching Track is a good starting point for a first visit: work on the basics there before linking up trails.

Lifts that carry bikes

The tourist office lists three lifts dedicated to bikes. This is how they worked in summer 2026:

According to the tourist office, most lifts can also carry e-MTBs; no specific rules are published.

Summer lifts do not run like winter lifts: only four lifts were on the summer 2026 calendar, each with its own opening period. Do not plan your riding days from the ski piste map.

Dates and hours: summer 2026 for reference

In high season 2026 (4 July – 30 August), the Chavannes Express and the Mont Chéry gondola ran from 9am to 5.30pm, the Nauchets Express from 9.15am to 5.20pm and La Pointe from 9.45am to 4.45pm; La Pointe was also weather-dependent. In low season, hours were shorter (9.30am – 5pm at Les Chavannes).

Summer 2027: dates not published as of 9 November 2026. The calendar is posted by the lift company on its summer dates and hours page.

Tickets and passes

The tourist office recommends buying your bike lift pass online to avoid queuing at the ticket office. Pass types (day, multi-day, season) and prices were not detailed on the pages we checked, so we do not quote any. See the official ticketing site, pass.lesgets.com, for the current season.

Note that the Multi Pass Portes du Soleil gives foot-passenger access to some lifts; it does not replace a bike lift pass.

Protective gear: what we know and what we suggest

No official rules setting out compulsory gear (full-face helmet, body armour) or a minimum age were found on the bike park pages we checked. The rules that apply are those posted at the lifts and published by the operator: read them before your first lift, or ask the tourist office (+33 4 50 74 74 74).

The suggestions below are general precautions, not official rules:

• a full-face helmet for downhill trails, a suitable helmet for enduro;
• gloves, knee pads and a back protector for downhill;
• a bike suited to the terrain: a well set-up downhill or enduro bike on DH trails, not a cross-country bike;
• brakes and tyres checked before the day;
• water and a warm layer, as mountain weather changes fast.

To hire a downhill bike and body armour, or book an instructor, see our guide to bike hire and MTB coaching.

Practical services

• Bike wash: free stations at the bottom of the Chavannes and Mont Chéry chairlifts, with water points.
• Repairs: self-service points with pumps and tools at the same spots.
• Bicycode: anti-theft marking at the ticket offices; the tourist office notes that registration is now compulsory for new bikes in France.
• e-MTB charging: 3 self-service stations according to the tourist office, Bosch and Shimano charging in the village and at the top of the main lifts.
• Thunderstorms: the tourist office advises staying away from metal lift structures.

Mont Chéry hosted the UCI World Cup every summer from 2023 to 2026: the full story is on our World Cup and MTB racing in Les Gets page.
