Things to do

Mountain biking in Morillon: the Sairon bike park and Grand Massif

In summer, Morillon is a reference for mountain biking in the Grand Massif. The Sairon chairlift carries bikes up to a bike park prized by riders, with trails that plunge into the forest, along the ridges and the panoramas. From the curious beginner to the experienced rider, everyone finds their descent, and the Grand Massif MTB network opens hundreds of kilometres of routes.

The terrain

  • The Sairon bike park: graded downhill trails, served by the chairlift, to string runs together without pedalling up. A reputation for technical, playful trails.
  • The Grand Massif MTB network: routes linked between Morillon, Samoëns, Les Carroz and beyond, on mountain or e-mountain bike.
  • Enduro and cross-country: great mountain routes, up to the neighbouring Fer-à-Cheval cirque.

How it works

You buy a bike pass giving access to the chairlift fitted to carry bikes. Full-suspension and e-mountain-bike rental and protection are available on site, and instructors offer lessons and guided outings to progress or discover the best trails safely.

Booking

Lift passes, bike rental and coaching are booked with the resort, the rental shops and the bike schools of Morillon. In high season, book your rental ahead.

Good to know

Level. There are trails for everyone, but bike-park downhill calls for protection and a minimum of confidence. Beginners start on the green and blue runs.

Gear. A full-face helmet, protection and a suitable bike are essential for downhill; everything rents on site.

Season. From summer to autumn, when the MTB chairlift runs. Check the opening dates.

With the family. Easy trails and the Lac Bleu treetop course suit the youngest.
