MOUNTAIN BIKING AND SKI LIFTS

If you’re a fan of downhill, enduro or plateau mountain biking, you’ll be pleased to hear that you can take the Annecy Mountains ski lifts to reach your starting point.

SKI LIFTS IN SEMNOZ AND THE ARAVIS MOUNTAINS

MOUNTAIN BIKING ON THE TRAILS IN ANNECY MOUNTAINS
TAKE YOUR MOUNTAIN BIKE
ON THE SEMNOZ CHAIRLIFT

Since summer 2024, mountain bikes have been permitted on the Télémix chairlift in the Semnoz resort, enabling you to travel to the summit of the Semnoz with your bike and hurtle down one of the new bike park’s 5 trails.

Simply purchase a one-day or four-hour pass from the ticket office and enjoy unlimited travel on the Télémix Belvédère chairlift for the period of your pass. Your mountain bike will be secured on a bike rack at the back of the chairlift. And when you and your bike reach the top, all you need to do is hop on and race down one of the 4 dedicated trails, before heading back down to Annecy, if you travelled to the resort by bus.
