Highlights
PassPortes du Soleil | Morzine & Les Gets
The PassPortes du Soleil mountain bike festival marks the official opening of the lifts for the summer season. Held over three days participants face the challenge of a gruelling circuit of the Portes du Soleil, taking in trails across both France and Switzerland. Optional downhill stages and XC climbs means there’s something for everyone. Each year the ‘host’ village alternates where you’ll find shows offering all the latest bikes to test as well as special events and concerts.
Mont Blanc Marathon | Chamonix
Chamonix hosts a number of road and trail running events throughout the summer season, launching with the Marathon on the 22nd June 2017. The spectacular scenery in this high mountain town is the ultimate backdrop to the ultimate challenge. Chamonix is the home of extreme outdoor activities and the atmosphere surrounding any sporting event here is electric.
Harley Days | Morzine
A gathering of over 5,000 bikers and their glamorous machines will descend on Morzine for the 4 day bikers festival. The atmosphere is really friendly with a mass of customised motorbikes lining the streets. A party atmosphere consumes the town for the duration, with daily music concerts leading up to a headline act from Toto.
Elite Road Cycling | All Resorts
Every year Elite Road Cycling events across the Alps see top teams warming up for the Tour de France. The various twisting roads and mountain passes in close proximity to the towns and villages make them an ideal destination to catch a glimpse of these sporting superstars doing battle. The area is also one of the premier destinations for amateur cyclists with a packed sportif calendar and an endless list of possible itineraries.
Luxury Retreats | All Resorts
The French Alps offer the perfect location to enjoy a variety of different Boutique Alpine Retreats, such as alpine yoga with our partners, Bamford. Set in idyllic luxury chalets with Bamford’s own specialist yoga teachers, indulge in activities to nurture your inner peace such as yoga, pilates, meditation, mountain walks and of course, Bamford’s luxurious facial and massage treatments. Complimented by bespoke ’clean menus’ created by our private chefs our Bamford Yoga retreats are perfect for Alpine summers.

Rallye du Mont Blanc | Morzine & Les Gets
To bring the curtain down in September the Rallye du Mont Blanc is a must for petrol heads as WRC spec rally cars take to the streets. This race is the fifth stage of the French National Rally Championships and draws France’s elite drivers to compete here in Morzine. Alongside the WRC cars a classic car rally also takes place and open paddocks means you can be really close to the action. It has been a highlight of Morzine’s summer calendar for a number of years and whilst the noise breaks the tranquillity of the mountains, there’s a fantastic atmosphere in Morzine.
