The Mountain Lift System

The Alps are simply stunning in summer and we offer a free pedestrian lift pass with all our holidays and a free biking lift pass for all Tignes holidays. It gives you access to a number of lifts with hundreds of Kms of mountain trails and a plethora of activities that take place up on high (for added wow factor!). The lifts enable you to reach high vantage points easily and cover many more miles of terrain.
Morzine & Les Gets
  • Free Lift pass in Active Pack (Walking)
  • Bike Lift pass: €5 per uplift (€89/week)
  • Lifts open: May 31 to Sept 15
  • Lifts: 25 cable cars, chairlifts
Tignes
  • Free Lift pass in Active Pack (Walking)
  • Free Lift pass in Active Pack (Biking)
  • Lifts open: June 20 to Sept
  • Glacier open: June to Aug 1

Morzine Lifts for walkers

  • Free lift pass with all holidays 
  • Altitude range 980m to 2430m 
  • Up to 25 Lifts open

The ski-lift system (up to 25 lifts) has been specially adapted for pedestrian use in summer. The lifts will take you on a tour around the entire Portes du Soleil which spans over into Switzerland for a truly epic adventure, whether on two wheels or two feet. You will find mountain restaurants and some great activities along the way, like the Fantasticable (longest zip wire in Europe) and mountain lakes for wild swimming, kayaking or the goat village to name a few. 

Tignes Lifts for walkers

  • Free lift pass with all holidays 
  • Altitude range 1550m to 3456m 
  • 5-6 high quality lifts open

The ski-lift system in Tignes is open for walkers and while there may be fewer lifts than Morzine, the area each lift covers is greater. You can use the lifts to walk or bike over into neighbouring Val D’Isere and experience more than 350 kms of trails. The Funicular is also open in summer (a mountain train) which goes up to the glacier for glacier walks and even summer skiing!

Morzine Lifts for bikers

  • Lift pass: €5 per uplift (€89 per week)  
  • Altitude range 980m to 2430m 
  • Up to 25 Lifts open

Mountain bikers can also use the chairlifts and gondolas, which have been converted to hold bikes. The lift system (25 lifts) is open to bikers and walkers all summer long, so you can access 800+Km’s of tracks and trails spanning the Franco-Swiss border of the immense Portes du Soleil.

Downhill riders will enjoy the fact that you can spend less time pushing uphill and more time blasting down the other way; and Cross Country riders will love that sense of adventure that comes from covering huge distances, knowing you can always get back home easily enough. Try the Portes du Soleil circuit which loops through the Swiss resorts of Chatel, Morgins, Champery and Les Crosets.

Tignes Lifts for bikers

Free lift pass with all holidays )  

Altitude range 1550m to 2800m 

5-6 high quality lifts open

Just like Morzine, bikers can also use the chairlifts and gondolas in Tignes. There may be fewer lifts and trails, but they are of a high quality and span over into the epic Val D’Isere. The lift system (6 lifts) is open all summer, so you can access 350+Km’s of excellent tracks and trails suited to all levels of rider, from beginner and up.

Tignes is great for beginner Downhill riders who will enjoy our Downhill MTB Lesson which we have specially set up with local professionals Evolution 2. Cross Country riders will love that sense of adventure that comes from covering huge distances, knowing you can always get back home!
