Lift passes are available from the cash desks at the base of each lift station.

There are three main types of summer lift passes which you can use in Avoriaz and the wider Portes du Soleil area:

Mountain bike passes are available for the individual resorts of Avoriaz, Morzine & Les Gets or for the whole of the Portes du Soleil, which includes 12 different villages and all the bike trails that link them
Pedestrian passes are available for Avoriaz, Morzine & Les Gets and can be bought in person at the ticket offices in resort
Multi-pass is the non-mountain biker access pass which not only gives you access to the lifts across the Portes du Soleil, but also the swimming pools, tennis, tourist trains, ice rink and selected cultural sites

Mountain bike lift passes in Avoriaz

For many people, summer in Avoriaz is all about the mountain biking, which is understandable as the resort sits in the heart of one of Europe's best MTB areas – the Portes du Soleil. Whilst there are a number of paths setting off from resort, in order to make the most of the 650km of marked trails, you need to use the lifts.

Nearly all of the chairlifts and cable cars in the area are equipped to carry bikes in the summer so you really can roam at your leisure. The resort has a MTB-specific lift pass for bikers, giving you access to all of the Portes du Soleil bike lifts. Passes can be bought on a daily basis or savings can be made by purchasing a longer duration ticket – six days or a season pass. Reductions are available for children and seniors; anyone holding a recent winter season Portes du Soleil Ski Pass can claim a 50% reduction on their summer pass.
