Free use bikes & bike hire
Free use mountain bikes
Free use mountain bikes
Our free-use mountain bikes (5yrs +) are front suspension hardtail bikes with disc brakes. They are based at our main hotels so you can pick one up from our main hotel workshops each day. Your bike will be fitted to you each day and you will have to return it each day so it can be checked by our mechanics.
If you have our Reserve a Bike Upgrade you can take your bike back to your chalet for the week, otherwise chalet guests will have to pick up/return their bikes each day. If you have Reserved a Bike as a hotel guest, your bike will remain on the rack with your name on the frame so you don’t need to check it in and out each day.
If you have not reserved a bike then rest assured we have plenty of bikes on our hotel racks, but try to avoid busy periods if you can. This is generally the first day (Sunday). In very busy periods, bike hire may be limited to half a day at a time.
Faults
Please make sure you report any faults as soon as possible and do not ride the bike until our mechanics have checked it.
Kids bikes
We have a limited stock of kids bikes and baby trailers, so speak with your Active Rep at the Welcome meeting to secure them.
Allowable use
Our free-use mountain bikes are intended for gentle off road and valley floor trails. Please don’t take them up the lifts on the (green to black) Cross country or downhill trails. You can only take our free-use bikes on the Super Morzine and Zorre lift when following our Fantasticable Route Card trail or the Pleney lift for the Les Gets Lake Route Card. These trails utilise lifts, but are largely flat trails and tarmac roads at altitude, leading to base where downhill trails are not involved.
If you would like to ride the green, blue, red, black trails then you must rent a well-prepared full suspension bike with hydraulic disc brakes.
Free-use Road Bikes
Our free-use road bikes (10yrs +) are based at our main hotels and we have limited stock so you can expect to use one for 1 to 2 half days per week, (possibly more). If you would like more use of road bikes, we recommend our ‘Reserve a Bike Upgrade‘
Free-Use E bikes
We offer a free half day taster in Les Gets (Hotel Christiania) and Tignes (Hotel Tetras). You may wish to hire for an additional day or two and you can do this before you depart, which we would recommend. Our free use E-bikes in Tignes are intended for use with the free guided E-Bike tour that we also include, but you can opt out of the tour if you would prefer to go for your own E-Bike adventure.
Book extra E-bike hire via Client Area or your HRF form.
E-bike hire
In all our properties you can rent our front suspension E-Bikes. Up to two day’s rental can be pre booked, but additional day’s hire can only be done in resort, for reasons of availability.
Your actual days of pre-booked hire will be allocated by your Active Rep on your pre departure call so that it fits around your Activity Planner that we create for you, with all your inclusive activities.
Book via Client Area or your HRF form.
Reserve a bike upgrade
Reserve a bike upgrade
- From £59 to £79 a week (6 days)
- Road bikes & Mountain bikes (std front suspension bikes)
- Recommended for chalets guests without a ‘free upgrade’
- Recommended if road biking is a priority for you
Each day you will have to visit hotel workshops to pick up a free-use bike. This is easy for hotel guests, but more difficult for guests of outlying chalets.
You can however reserve your own bike, so chalet guests can take the bike back to their chalet for the week, without having to visit our hotel workshops each day to pick up/drop off bikes. Early booker chalet guests get a ‘Free reserve a Bike’ upgrade so this does not apply.
It suits hotel guests as it will mean there is no waiting in busy periods for your bike to be fitted to you each day, and no risk of non-availability of your frame size. Non-availability is rare, but can happen in peak periods. Your bike will have your name on the frame, with the settings unchanged, so you can just grab it and go each day without a fresh PDI check and fitting.
It also suits road bikers who want a guarantee of more than 2 half days use a week as road bike stocks are limited
It is advisable to ‘Reserve a Bike’ before you travel. We cannot make refunds if you decide not to make use of your reserved bike on arrival.
Book via Client Area or your HRF form.

Bike hire collection & workshops
Our Free-use Bike hire and workshops run from our main hotels: Tetras Lodge, Christiania, Hermine Blanche and Philibert. If you are staying in a Morzine chalet, you will need to visit the hotel nearest to your chalet to pick up and drop off your bike each day, unless you have our reserve a Bike upgrade.
To find your nearest hotel use the Morzine map, grid references below.
- Hotel Philibert, Morzine (map grid ref R6)
- Hotel Hermine Blanche, Morzine (map grid ref O5)
Bike faults
Although our bikes are PDI checked (Pre-Delivery Inspection) before each new rider by our trained mechanics, you may incur a fault with your bike during use. Please report any faults to us immediately and bring your bike back to us.
We will not charge you for faults, unless the damage has occurred through mis-use which should not happen if you adhere to our guidelines and permitted use.
