Discover the Portes du Soleil in a different way with the Pass’Portes du Soleil Gravel. For fans of asphalt and gravel, but also of uneven terrain, we offer you an exclusive route. We’ll take you away from the bike parks to discover the beauty of our Portes du Soleil domain, without forgetting the local refreshments, of course!
For its 3rd edition, the gravel course takes place over 1 day: Saturday June 28, 2025, starting from the Salon du VTT in Les Gets. With 50% roads and 50% trails, we take you on an original loop between lakes and mountains. There’s also a lift along the way, so you can relax while admiring the panorama.
