Morzine in Summer

Mountain Bike Holidays in Morzine

When the snow melts, the main sport across Morzine and Les Portes du Soleil is mountain biking. The ski pistes turn into luscious green hills with mountain bike trails zig zagging across the valleys. Morzine is the place to come if you are a complete beginner to mountain biking or an expert. The huge variety of trails suit every style of mountain biker and it's the most fun and active way to see the mountains.

Mountain Mavericks has been providing mountain bike holidays for over 10 years. From hearty mountain bike breakfasts to keep you energised throughout the day, to a professional bike wash when you come back off the mountain - we have every corner covered for a relaxing holiday!

Mountain Mavericks went for a ride with Wideopen Magazine team rider Veronique Sandler to check out the epic trails of Morzine during her stay with us:
