If you like bagging cols, you’ll find plenty around – 25 cols within 50 km! From the Col de Joux Verte, to the Joux Plane or Ramaz, you’ll be ticking off famous climbs every day. There are 15 mapped road cycling routes leaving from Morzine alone available to check out online or in a little printed guide. You can join guided and supported rides or head out alone following the signs and compare your strava stats to those of the pros!
There’s also the now famed Morzine-Avoriaz hill climb (Grimpée Cycliste). Taking place twice each summer, it’s the fastest person up the 14,6km, 860m high climb of the Joux Verte. The record of 33 minutes by Bernard Hinault in 1979 still stands!
A clocking in & out machine is available at any time if you want to time yourself. Cards are available from the Tourist Office.
