If you don't have your own bike, you can rent the bikes you need to enjoy those trails, from World-Cup downhill bikes to children's bikes at the BikePark shop in Champery.
Excursions
One day of your biking vacation should be reserved to an excursion to the Rochers de Naye for breathtaking descents over Lake Geneva and to the ultra-steep freeride trails of Bex.
The local rail companies offer day passes for bikers so you can take the rack railway up and your bike down.
