Morzine Bike Park 2026

The Pleney network just got a serious upgrade. Tucked in around the familiar contours of Mainline and Twisty, three brand new black trails have opened up — and they're not messing around.

Woodride – The Natural Next Step

If you've been lapping Mainline and quietly thinking I need more, Woodride is the answer. Sitting between Pleney Mainline and Twisty (Pleney Blue), this new black is steeper, more natural, and demands proper line choice rather than just confidence and momentum.

Don't expect smooth berms and predictable flow. Woodride is built to test you — technical terrain, steep sections, and features that'll quickly expose sloppy riding. Think of it as the trail that graduates you from Mainline rather than replacing it.

Quick Facts

• Length: 2.7km
• Descent: 340m
• Grade: Black

FAQ

• How does it compare to Mainline? It's steeper and more technical — think natural terrain and proper line choice rather than flow.
• Who is it for? Riders comfortable on Mainline who want a clear next step without jumping straight to something extreme.
• Is it lift-served? Yes — it's accessed from the Pleney lifts, same as Mainline and Twisty.

Legal 1.0 – All About Precision

Branching off the upper section of Twisty, Legal 1.0 is short, tight, and unashamedly technical. Built on some of the original singletrack in the area, it's the kind of trail that rewards accuracy over aggression — punchy little features that'll punish anyone who's not paying attention.

It won't take long to ride, but don't let that fool you. This one's about control, not kilometres.

Quick Facts

• Length: 0.4km
• Descent: 96m
• Grade: Black

FAQ

• Is it worth stopping for if it's that short? Absolutely — it's the kind of trail you slot into a run for a sharp technical hit before rejoining the blue.
• What kind of features should I expect? Tight, punchy sections that demand precision and clean technique over raw speed.
• Do I need to be an expert? You should be confident and controlled on blacks — sloppy riding won't get away with it here.

Legal 2.0 – Brief and Brutal

Legal 2.0 follows a similar recipe, only turned up a notch. Another short black line sitting close by, it's technical, difficult, and considerably less forgiving than anything else on the hill.

There's no easing into it. It's a quick, sharp hit — the kind of trail you slot in between blue laps to keep your riding honest.

Quick Facts

• Length: 0.35km
• Descent: 117m
• Grade: Black (Elite)

FAQ

• How does it differ from Legal 1.0? It's shorter but drops more — steeper, denser, and less forgiving. Consider it Legal 1.0's nastier sibling.
• Is it suitable for progressing riders? This one's best left until you're fully comfortable on black terrain. It's listed as Elite difficulty on the trail map.
• What's the best way to approach it? Fresh legs and full focus. It's short enough to feel manageable, but long enough to catch you out if you switch off.

Between the three of them, Pleney now has a proper progression ladder for riders ready to push beyond the blues. Whether you're working your way up through Woodride or chasing the precise, punchy challenges of the Legal trails, there's something here to sharpen your riding — and plenty of reason to add an extra lap or two.

Pleney mainline is one of the very best Downhill tracks in Europe. World-class athletes come to Morzine each summer to ride and perfect their skills here! With over 65 official downhill trails across Les Portes Du Soleil and 25 chair lifts operating in the summer months thousands of tourists flock to Morzine. The Morzine summer season is stretching longer and longer, starting in May for weekend openings, and ending mid-September, as well as staying opening into the evenings. For more information on Morzine summer lift opening times. 

The Morzine bike park is one of the most famous and iconic downhill destinations in France. It offers a variety of trails, ranging from beginner-friendly to advanced. Riders love the fast and flowy sections, jumps, and berms. Morzine Bike Park itself is quite a small area with 5 downhill trails, 3 Blue, 1 Red and 1 Black, the famous Pleney mainline. We have the best Morzine Hire Bikes also. 

There is also a very easy Enduro trail that connects Morzine to Les Gets but this is not the reason that so many mountain bikers come to Morzine to ride. The real reason is the secret trails built by the local riders that cascade down the Morzine hillside back to the main Pleney Gondola. These local trails are steep, technical and extremely good, the terrain on this 600-metre-high mountain is simply perfect for making downhill mountain bike trails.

Morzine Bike Park is located in the very centre of the Portes du Soleil trail network and the town of Morzine itself is very busy during the summer with thousands of mountain bikers looking to ride and party. 

Due to its central location, you can easily access many other resorts including Avoriaz Bike Park, Champery, Morgins, Les Gets Bike Park, Chatel Bike Park, Les Crosets, Les Lindarets.

Super Morzine, part of the Avoriaz Bike Park is another popular area for downhill mountain biking and is accessed via 1 lift from Morzine town centre. It features a mix of trails, including fast, technical descents and jump lines. The trails in Super Morzine often have a more man-made feel, taking riders down berms, jumps, ladder drops and on a rollercoaster of a ride. The Super Morzine gondola provides easy access to this area.

If you take the Zore chairlift you can then pedal across to the Avoriaz Bike Park Trail in Les Lindarets. These trails and much more rocky, technical and natural. The french national Downhill championships were held here years ago and now these trails act as a superb spot to ride on your transition between the Morzine and Avoriaz bike parks and Chatel.

Les Gets and can be very easily accessed from the top of the Pleney Gondola which departs from the centre of Morzine and takes about 5 minutes to reach its 1600m summit! Les Gets has mountain bike trails to suit every ability from family green trails like Piste des écureuils to the incredible freeride line called Canyon. 

There are two (well 3) main riding areas to Les Gets bike park including the Chavannes sector which is home to trails such as Le Roue Libre a 2.7km red trail with doubles, tables, hips and amazing berms. Then you have the blue trail Tomawak a 1.6km flow trail with so many berms, tables and fun little features you could play on it all day long. On the other face of the hill, you have the Nauchets area which is packed with black jump lines galore and well worth spending a day riding to perfect those skills. 

Mt Chery is also across the road from Les Gets Bike park and boasts the Les Gets World cup and World Championship course. This is an incredible track but unfortunately, the whole track is not open to the public. There are several trails on this side that are open and they are very good!
