Seems that we've been getting a bit of the summer sunshine recently here in the alps – so thought it best to make the most of it with a trip down the road to Dorenaz – near Martingy in Switzerland.

tiny lift – public transport, swiss style!

That's the "bus stop" up top.. not a bad view.

Obligatory photographers' bike shot 🙂

The way down mostly looked like this. Was hard to concentrate on the exposed singletrack with that view!

There's some really great rinding there, a top day out if ever you're in the area! It's only an hour and a half from Morzine as well – and as the lift runs throughout the year it's a great off season option when the ski resorts are shut / covered in snow!

I'm pretty sure Scott use Dorenaz for bike testing…..i can see why!

Look at that weather! (not jealous ok a wittle bit.)

You can't go very far without seeing a Scott in these parts – usually with a scott covered rider on board.. I liked the look of the Voltage a local bike shop owner was riding there.
