Mountain Biking

Chatel has two permanent downhill mountain bike runs; one black for the very experienced (most technical run in portes du soleil), and one blue for the serious but less crazy mountainbikers. This one is hard, but not for the novice. It still has jumps, berms - this is the one that's featured on the web site.
Or, you can get a one-day pass for the VTT Portes du soleil and explore the whole area. This includes the world cup runs of Morzine, Les Gets, Morgins, Champery, Les crosets, Torgon & all have downhill runs. Let the chairlift take you up, and ride the excellent descents to the next station. Of course if you want to do it the hard way (cycling up ) no-one will stop you. More time to take in the breathtaking scenery of the ALPS, Mont Blanc & Dents du Midi. Bike hire is available locally or take your own. (lockup in basement of chalet).
