DavidTaylForth nice to know it's still going strong! We stayed there once 7 years ago for 10 days. Oh and forgot to say about the campsite you will get woken up early by the farmer moving his cows and them wearing HUGE cow bells! Oh it's nice to DH into the campsite 
Since then we have stayed in chalet's in Morzine but there is SOOO much accommodation out there.

We've done Les Gets / Morzine twice now and earlier this year we fancied a change so did Saint Foy with the White Room Chalet.
This year was THE best holiday we'd ever had.
Cheers Vic, nice to be appreciated!

I'd suggest chatel rather than Morzine as the bike park there is growing by the year with loads of mega trails. Also you have quick access to the swiss valley and some great runs in Morgins! and down to champerey, i may be a bit bias though as i do live in Chatel!
Early summer tends to be best if you want to hit the DH tracks as the brake bumps haven't grown to the size of small cars but what ever you do you won't be dissapointed! Its also worth exploring as you will find there's far more to the Port Du Soleil than the bike parks.....

I think Morzine is a good locator as it's quite central to get around everywhere, it doesn't take long to get into the Chatel valley and into Switzerland.

Remember chamois creme - 'spesh if you only ride once or twice a week normally, it's a lifesaver by the end of the week.
Most parts can be had out there and I don't think the shops are all that much of a rip off (but I do live in ireland).
There are a coupla books on routes in the area, we did a couple easy enough (navigation wise) where we would go up a lift, follow some ace singletrack down into the middle of no-where, grind our ways back up to another ace descent which would end at another lift so we could have some DH nuttiness into Les Gets. Then we would generally cycle to the top of the DH route in LEs gets and do it all again to finish off the day.
We did get a guide for a coupla days - he showed some cheeky stuff and once he knew the level of the riders he adjusted the routes accordingly.

StevieG I now know what you are saying!!! We raced down the road in 2006 in time to get to Morzine centre to see druggie Floyd and his win that was fun racing the tdf into the finish!! Ahhhh I like Morzine. Apart from Mr MC's holiday snaps and souvenir from 2009 (we didnt go this year)...

Don't tend to go to many bars as we often find it is a bit like skiing. Out early and back for afternoon tea and beer, out for dinner and bed. So many good places to eat.
