Read the above link, explains all you need to know eventually.

Did hear from someone that the Pleney lift was closed for this season, anyone got any further details on whether this is the case?

Removes a lot of good riding or the requirement for a long drag round to Les Gets if this is correct.

Yup it is. There was another thread somewhere with more details. Couple of days ago.

Read the link I posted above!

Pleney lift is closed but other pans are in place and other options being explored.

i booked a holiday in Morzine, the guy told me that the Pleney lift is defo closed which means it’s a pain getting to Les Gets, getting back will be fine though, also i heard there is a suggestion of a bus to help out but it’s not for sure. the swiss side is fully open as usual though, also Les Gets is fully open so the only issue is getting to Les Gets from Morzine but if you want to spend a day in Les Gets you could drive up there do all the runs then come back (if like me your taking your van :wink:)

Think you best read and stop panicking!

The Pléney gondola will be replaced with new lift equipment for winter 2013/14. This key new lift will provide improved capacity and better access to the winter ski area and for summer Mountain Biking in Morzine . Ground level access to the top and bottom lift stations will make for quicker access and ease of use.

As we await the opening of this new lift, and due to the scale of the works involved, the Pléney gondola will be closed for the 2013 summer season.

To ensure MTB activities, the local councils and the lift companies of Morzine-Avoriaz and Les Gets, will put in place the following solutions:

· Early opening, from the 15th of June 2013, of the Super Morzine gondola and the “Zore” chairlift. From the 28th of June, an earlier opening time of 08:30am and a 50% increase in the flow-rate will ensure free-flowing traffic.
· A bus service adapted for carrying Mountain Bikes will be run daily between the resorts of Morzine and Les Gets from the 28th of June to the 1st of September 2013 (dates inclusive). This bus service will be reserved for those with a Portes du Soleil lift pass.
· The Mountain Bike tracks between the resorts of Morzine and Les Gets will be marked out, signposted and maintained.

Further steps are also being examined to safeguard Mountain Biking in the Pléney area, and improve the flow capacity of the lift links between Morzine and Les Gets, by way of the the “Crusaz” and “Mouilles” chairlifts. More information will follow on this subject as soon as possible.

Reminder of lift opening dates:
· Les Gets: Every weekend from the 25th of May and every day from the 15th of June to the
8th of September 2013.
· Morzine: Every day from the 15th of June to the 1st of September.
· Portes du Soleil: The lift links will open for the Pass’Portes du Soleil VTT, on the 28th of June, and will run until the 1st of September 2013; allowing access to the 23 lifts open this summer and linking the 12 resorts of the Franco-Swiss area.

Everyone involved in the resorts of Morzine-Avoriaz and Les Gets is working tirelessly to make sure that Mountain Biking, which is vital to our local tourist economy, goes ahead this summer.

All other infrastructure in the resort of Morzine will run as normal for the summer 2013 season:
· The “Crusaz” chairlift for pedestrians and summer toboggan.
· The “Pointe de Nyon” chairlift for pedestrians.
