mattjg - Trient, Hughs way, Floria etc - Although it all flows if your good enough!

crm1000 - yes most of those are from the Brevent side.

Yes long old push up to Montenvers/midi. Unless you can sneak your bike in a paragliding bag.... 😉 no pics.

Possettes (both variants) and Loriaz too

Flowy as you like, er, except for the odd switchback

Though as FRN says, I suppose it's subjective isn't it

Horses for courses I guess, I never found a great deal I'd regard as flowy, I'm more a forest ST kind of guy I guess.

That bit above Vallorcine/Chatelard is lovely but only about 500 metres long IIRC (I've been gone a year now). I can't be arsed with loads of on-the-brakes steep switchbacks.

I hiked and dropped Col de la Terrasse -> Loriaz on my snowboard once, would have been a struggle getting a bike up that way.

Anyway those days are gone, feet firmly planted in the Surrey Hills nowadays.

Everyone should go to Chamonix if they get the chance, there are few places in the world you can sit in the back garden enjoying a pastis and look at a glacier in the pink sunset.

Thinking about it, Lac Vert/trois gouilles isn't IN chamonix, but still worth a ride for the flow...
