Before you ride in Les Gets, two questions come up: which bike to hire, and whether to book a coach. This page is part of our mountain biking in Les Gets section and lists the hire shops and coaching outfits named by the tourist office, with pointers to help you choose. Detailed business listings are in the directory.
MTB schools and coaches
The tourist office lists four mountain bike coaching outfits in Les Gets:
| Outfit | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Season Guiding | Listing on lesgets.com |
| Vecteur Montagne | Listing on lesgets.com |
| Jean-Luc Tamanini | Listing on lesgets.com |
| 360 Outdoor | Listing on lesgets.com (also a hire shop) |
The bike park listing published by Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc Tourisme mentions around ten qualified French MTB instructors (MCF) working in the resort. What each outfit offers (group lessons, private sessions, guided rides, age ranges) varies and is not detailed on the tourist office page: check the official list of MTB schools and contact the coach directly.
When is a coach worth it?
- First bike park day: learning body position, braking and how to read a trail saves a lot of crashes.
- Skills progression: jumps, berms and rooty sections on Mont Chéry.
- Big days out: enduro or e-MTB rides to other Portes du Soleil resorts, where a guide knows the links and which lifts are running.
- Children: coaching suited to their age and ability.
To work on the basics on your own, the bike park also has a six-exercise Coaching Track on the Chavannes side, covered in our full Les Gets bike park guide.
Bike hire shops
The tourist office lists 10 shops for bike hire in Les Gets:
- The Hub – Netski
- Yolo Store
- LoisiBike
- Michaud Sports – Skiset
- 360 Outdoor
- Vermont Sport Shop
- Nevada Sports
- Evasion Sports

The Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc listing mentions 6 “specialist” shops instead: we could not explain the difference. Addresses, contacts and services for each shop are gathered in the Les Gets directory as listings are verified. The tourist office bike hire page remains the reference for the current list.
Which bike for which riding
These are general pointers: ask the shop, which knows its fleet and the state of the trails.
| Riding | Bike to ask for | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Bike park downhill trails (13 DH trails according to the tourist office) | Downhill (DH) bike | Frame size, body armour available to hire |
| Blue trails, enduro/touring (5 trails according to the tourist office) | Enduro or all-mountain bike | Suspension travel, compatibility with the lifts |
| Rides and e-MTB routes | Electric mountain bike | Battery range, motor system (Bosch, Shimano…) for charging |
| Road riding (Col de Joux Plane, Col de la Ramaz…) | Road or gravel bike | Gearing suited to mountain climbs |
Electric mountain bikes
The tourist office cites 350 km of waymarked e-MTB routes across the Portes du Soleil and highlights loops such as Mont Caly (7 km) or the Col du Ranfoilly (19 km). For charging, it mentions 3 self-service stations and Bosch and Shimano charging in the village centre and at the top of the main lifts: ask the shop which system your bike uses. According to the tourist office, most lifts accept e-MTBs.
Booking tips
- Book early in high season, especially downhill bikes and e-MTBs, which are in highest demand.
- Give your height and level when booking.
- Ask what is included: helmet, body armour, set-up, damage or theft cover.
- Check cancellation terms in case of bad weather.
- Consider the Multi Pass Portes du Soleil: the tourist office says it gives discounts on MTB hire and lessons with some providers.
Prices vary by season, bike type and hire length. We do not publish rates: compare directly with the shops and schools.
Frequently asked questions
Can I hire an e-MTB in Les Gets?
The tourist office lists ten bike hire shops and promotes e-MTB riding widely, but its pages do not say which shops rent e-bikes. Check availability and motor type directly with the shop, especially in high season.
Do I need an instructor to ride the Les Gets bike park?
No coaching requirement is published for the bike park. An instructor is still useful for a first downhill day, for improving technique, or for exploring Portes du Soleil routes without getting lost.
