      The Pass'Portes Gravel version

      Discover the Portes du Soleil in a different way with the Pass’Portes du Soleil Gravel. For those who love tarmac, gravel and hills, we’re offering you an exclusive route. We’ll take you away from the bike parks to discover the beauty of our Portes du Soleil area, not forgetting the local refreshments, of course!

      For its 3rd edition, the gravel course will take place over 1 day: Saturday 28 June 2025, starting from the Mountain Bike Show in Les Gets. With 50% roads and 50% paths, we’ll be taking you on an original loop between lakes and mountains. A ski lift on the route will allow you to rest while admiring the panorama.
