Free-use mountain bikes

Morzine chalet guests can get a bike upgrade for half price

The Alps were made for mountain biking and one thing’s for sure - whether you’re a beginner or a family of bikers looking for a (very) fun day out - then you’re going to want to give biking a go! Our free-use bikes are lightweight, front suspension bikes, maintained by our team of mechanics and available all week for you to use.

About the bike

  • Suitable use: Gentle high altitude trails & valley floor trails
  • 100mm Front suspension fork, disc brakes
  • Large wheels & extra wide tyres for alpine terrain
  • Frames: S, M, L, XL.  Age 9+ (smaller child bikes also available)

The Specialized Pitch and Scott Aspect 950 are lightweight bikes with chunky tyres, performance-driven parts and disc brakes. They make up the core of our Free-Use Bike Fleet and will soak up the valley floor trails and the gentler (Green graded) high mountain routes. These bikes are the perfect steed for an alpine adventure.

Free-use bikes for hotel guests

We have a large fleet of bikes with more than enough to go around and bikes are free to use  for all our catered guests. Bikes are based at our hotel workshops where they are maintained by our own team of mechanics. If you are a hotel guest, then just visit your workshop each day (during workshop hours) and your bike will be freshly fitted to you so you can enjoy a two-wheeled adventure, perhaps using our Route Cards for ride suggestions.

Our Bike facilities

Free-use bikes for chalet guests

The same large fleet of bikes is available for all our Morzine chalet guests to enjoy. You can visit our workshops each day to pick up a bike for the day; and Early bookers even get a free bike upgrade so that they can keep their bike at their chalet, (see below).

'Reserve a bike' upgrades

  • £79 per week: ‘Reserve a Bike’ upgrade
  • Free Bike Upgrade for Early Booker chalet guests 
  • Book before travel, with our sales team

You can reserve your own bike for the week (with the settings unchanged) for a small surcharge. This suits chalet guests because you can take your own bike back to your chalet for the week, without having to visit our hotel workshops each day to pick up a bike. 

For hotel guests, it will mean that there is no waiting in busy periods for your bike to be fitted to you (each day) and no risk of non-availability of your frame size, (although this is rare). You just pick up your bike which will have your name on the frame. And go..

We have bikes for kids under 9, but please come to our hotels each day for kids bikes as they are more limited. 

It is advisable to ‘Reserve a Bike’ before you travel. Regrettably, we cannot make refunds if you decide not to make use of your reserved bike on arrival.

Where you can use our bikes

Our free-use bikes are versatile bikes with a light-weight frame, front suspension and performance-driven parts. They are perfect for valley floor trails and gentle trails at altitude.

You may use our bikes on two of the gentlest lift-assisted trails that follow our Route Cards, (The Fantasticable and Les Gets loop) where steep off road tracks are avoided. If you would like to use the green to black graded Downhill trails then you will need to hire a full suspension ‘Pro bike’ with strong brakes and suspension.

Bike availability

Bikes are available from our main hotels, so you can grab one from our racks whenever you choose. There are plenty of bikes to go around and if you have to wait, then it’ll only be for a short time. Our Active Staff will ensure you get more than enough use of a bike during your week.

If you would like to reserve your own bike to use all week, (with your own settings unchanged), then you can pay a supplement for our ‘bike upgrade’ for 6 days’. 

Mechanic Support

In each of our main hotels we have a fully kitted bike-workshop and trained bike mechanics to keep your wheels rolling. If you notice a fault, then take the bike straight back to them. Don’t worry, you won’t be charged for accidental damage or wear n’ tear if you use the bikes in accordance with our allowable use guidelines.
