You can do a lot of varied riding by sticking to these posted routes, but there are also a lot more off-piste rides for which this map is a bit rubbish.
[url= http://en.portesdusoleil.com/index.php?nav=74&pageType=1&language=2&season=2&station= ]The main Portes du Soliel site[/url] isn't a bad start - it's worth looking through all of the individula "stations" as theyy all seem to be owned by different lift companies, so they have their own detail maps.
There is a version ofthe map posted above with the full legend which is handy (some lifts are only open for the Passportes event) etc. it's not always abundantlly clear which routes are do-able on a big bike, but Les Gets to Chatel and back via Morgins is quite achievable, once you know the secret of the Pre la Joux bus Service...
I can't seem to find out how much a lift pass is for a week... can anyone help me out?
it's about 80 euro i think
6 day lift pass is €84 plus €3 for the hands free card.
trail maps - try here: http://www.ridemorzine.org/2010/03/maps/ the PdS also released a new trail map late last summer - this can be bought at the tourist office / lift stations. It's quite good, but misses out on a few choice routes.
