After the unbelievable scenes of Les Gets World Champs in 2023 there is no surprise to see downhill racing return for Les Gets World Cup 2023, What is surprising is the never before seen 10 day mountain biking festival accompanying the Les Gets World Cup, bringing together all major mountain bike race formats into a single event. This huge international festival will host multi-format events combined with a festival atmosphere designed to bring all mountain bikers and the whole MTB industry together in the epicentre of European mountain biking, Les Portes Du Soleil. Alongside the racing there will be major trade shows, exhibitions, entertainment, live music, parties and so much more.

Le Tour du France - Morzine 2024

***DATES & ROUTE TO BE ANNOUCNED IN OCTOBER ***
The Worlds biggest road race will be visiting Morzine again for 2023. Morzine will see the finish to one of the major mountain climbing stages of Le Tour du France on the 15th July 2023. With the Le Tour departing Les Gets the next morning on 16th July. For any serious cycling fan Le Tour Du France is the absolute pinnacle of the sport, some of the Worlds best athletes, biggest and liveliest crowds and they sure know how to put on one hell of a show! The precession of Le Tour alone is absolutely huge with every truck and promotional vehicle you could imagine showing fans with promotional freebies.
Stage 14 of Le Tour de France 2023, Annemasse - Morzine is an absolutely gruelling mountain stage over 152km's and boasting 6 gradually increasing cols that combine with 4100m of climbing! The grand finale of this stage is Le Col de Joux Plane with just shy of 1000m of climbing in one hit from Samoëns to the summit before a nail biting winding alpine descent into Morzine. Having such a huge climb at the end of the stage will really determine the best climbers in the World followed by an all or nothing descent in order to take the famous stage win. With the roads closed around town it's important to arrive early and get in position to watch the show. We'd highly recommending heading up Le Pleney or Les Gets lifts and watch the action from near the top of Le Joux Plane Expect the Joux-Plane to be absolutely lined with screaming spectators the whole way up and down with a spectacular Morzine finish area!
This is the 22nd time Morzine has hosted a stage of Le Tour du France and the town is steeped in cycling history and home to a plethora of incredible cycling routes, Morzine and the Portes du Soleil should be on every cyclist's hit list no matter what your discipline! With endless mountain passes and challenging cols on our door step, there's no wonder Le Tour is a frequent visitor.

9th July
Every year L'Etape du Tour gives non-professional road cyclists the opportunity to ride one of the most gruelling Tour du France stages and to really get a feel for what the professionals go through in a Tour Du France stage. This year that stage will be the Stage 14: Annemasse to Morzine and will consist of several huge mountain passes over 152km of road and roughly 4100m of climbing! With the 1000m+ climb from Samoens over Col Du Joux Plane before an epic winding descent into Morzine town. The roads will be closed for this event and 15,000 "amateur" cyclists are expected to take part and experience how tough a Tour du France stage really is, the only differnce being that the pro's do this every day for 3 weeks straight! L'Etape is going to be a great warm up for Le Tour and will really get the town in the summer spirit.
