Saint-Jean-de-Sixt appeals to cyclists with its central location. Within a few kilometres, it's possible to reach several major routes in Haute-Savoie without having to cross long urban stretches. This situation allows for chaining together day trips and varying experiences according to your desires. Road cyclists particularly appreciate the immediate proximity of major mountain passes, while gravel and mountain bike enthusiasts benefit from a vast network of forest tracks, farm paths and quiet secondary roads. The village therefore constitutes an ideal base for discovering the entire Aravis mountain range.
Road cycling finds an exceptional playground here with direct access to the Col des Aravis, the Col de la Croix Fry, and the rolling roads connecting the villages of the massif. Gravel enthusiasts, on the other hand, discover a particularly rich territory, where pastoral tracks and forest paths allow for exploring the alpine pastures from a different angle. Mountain biking also benefits from a varied environment, alternating between woodland trails, mountain tracks, and routes connecting to neighbouring areas. This diversity makes it possible to plan several days of activity without ever repeating the same route.
The Col des Aravis is the unmissable climb in the region. Featured numerous times in the Tour de France, it offers a steady ascent punctuated by open panoramas of Mont-Blanc. The Col de la Croix Fry offers a different, more intimate atmosphere, winding through forests and alpine pastures. From Saint-Jean-de-Sixt, several loops also allow you to connect to Thônes, Manigod or Le Grand-Bornand to create particularly comprehensive routes.
The surroundings of Saint-Jean-de-Sixt are full of paths connecting agricultural plateaus, alpine forests and isolated hamlets. The routes to Les Confins, the Beauregard plateau or the heights of Manigod allow you to discover a different side of the Aravis, far from the main routes. These trails alternate between smooth tracks and more technical sections, offering terrain particularly appreciated by gravel and mountain bike riders.
