I've been up to Col de Cou from Morzine side then down to Champery from there, but apart from some singeltrack at the top{which meant crossing some very slippery, dodgy leftover snow in the shade} it was double fire roads all the way to Champery.
Which way from the top is it to the Ridge trail then? Roughly I mean, and if it's signed, which direction? Was an all morning slog up to Col de Cou from Mozrine mind...
Nice. Thank you guys

Yep - it does seem a very long time ago! Glad you're still using the pics though Guy!
@ akira- whereabouts is the boards section you show on your clip from 1:15 onwards? It looks like fun, is it on a super gnarly hard DH run?
@Ambrose, sorry no idea, was with a guide and we went up some chairlifts in the fog and then down through some muddy rainy bits.
Was some very nice steep stuff but it was all more off the beaten track than on a particularly main bit.
@Ambrose If remember rightly from trip out there with akira you head right before the start of the 4x in to les gets.
When you hit the road there is a trail (from what I remember signed) heading in to the trees on your left.
That is really vague and only limited use but is all my slightly jaded memory can recall.

That trail in the first video is up above St Jean d'Aulps - you can either get the cable car on a Wednesday or Sunday, or ride up from Graydon. It's imaginatively named the Joranloup Singletrack.
With that information and an IGN map, you should be able to find it 
My flat to the top (via the lift) and back down the trail to my flat is a 45 minute round trip - I like that!
I was lucky enough to meet up with two Morzine regulars who showed me loads of stuff. 10 brilliant days and I was on a hardtail, one great trail was out of Les Gets on the opposite side to the big down hill, along a rocky ridge and down a bit to a little bar. Then a ride around the hill.
flowmtbguy - extremely jealous of that local loop you have. Many of those sort of things anywhere near flowmtb chalets?
