Second edition of the VTOPO Portes du Soleil with new layout, new routes, new presentation. The complete bible and the official VTOPO in partnership with the Portes du Soleil. From family routes to expert and extreme routes. GPS tracks available for download.

With clear and detailed data, precise maps, useful information and quality photos, the VTOPO becomes the essential reference to enjoy 100% of these massifs. Finally, all circuits are evaluated using a relevant rating system ranging from V1 to V6.

The Gates of the Sun

The Portes du Soleil area extends over several valleys: the Aulps valley and the Abondance valley for France, the Torgon side and the Val d'Illiez for Switzerland. Thanks to this VTOPO you will discover fantastic circuits through these regions.

The Portes du Soleil therefore extend both in France (department of Haute-Savoie) and in Switzerland (Canton of Valais) inside Chablais. This massif is representative of mountain areas with the advantages and disadvantages that this entails. Even if the altitude of the area remains "modest" with a highest point located at 2277 m at the Pointe des Mossettes, the fact remains that we are in the Northern Alps. Mountain biking is possible only from May until the first snowfalls of autumn. The best season is therefore summer, thanks to the favorable climate but also thanks to the opening of the ski lifts.

The cutting

Here is the zone by zone division chosen in this VTOPO. It is important to remember that the circuits described in each massif evolve in the area concerned. However, given the proximity of certain sectors, it is not uncommon to see a route spill over into another area.

GRAND TOURS: this section offers 3 itinerant trips through the Portes du Soleil: one day tour and 2 multi-day tours.

THE ABONDANCE VALLEY: encompasses the 2 slopes as well as the adjoining valleys from Abondance to Châtel and also includes the Torgon sector (Switzerland).

THE AULPS VALLEY: this valley gives access to various resorts: Saint Jean d'Aulps, Les Gets, Montriond and Avoriaz.

SWITZERLAND: includes the Swiss side of the Portes du Soleil (entitled Bikepark.ch): Morgins, Val-d'Illiez, Les Crosets, Champéry...

BIKE PARK & DH: presents in detail the facilities dedicated to this practice of mountain biking in each station.
