Do we have a thread yet?
After a couple of years away my leg is just about fixed so we're off to Les Gets for the last fortnight in August. Yes, I know that there will be braking bumps the size of houses and potentially torrential rain but I really don't care. Chalet is booked- Yippee!!
I'm there from the 26th July to the 9th of August. First week with mates so riding every day. Second week with Mrs and Junior so sneaky runs after family time.
I'll be on this bike...
Feel free to give me a nudge if you see me.
I'll be there with the family from 26th July until 2nd Aug - should be out on the bike every day.
I'll look out for the bike @sharkattack. I'll be there an a (I think) fairly unusual Deviate Claymore in dark green.
We went 2nd week in September in 2023 and the trails were in premium condition, not much in the way of braking bumps
There from 5th -19th Aug after some racing first and a trip to Andorra
We’re out the first week of August. Managed to palm the kids off on the grandparents (5 days with my parents and 5 with the in-laws) so this will be our first real trip back since before my wife got pregnant.
We’ve got e-bikes this year, but will probably just be riding all the normal stuff.
10th to the 17th of August for me. I'll be the one guy in the lift queue with an open face helmet.
14th to 21st June for me. First time there and.looking forward to it
Further to my above post, we are flying into Geneva. What's the best way of getting from the airport to Morzine? There's two of us and we were thinking about the train.
The last time I looked there wasn't a train. There's quite a few transfer services though. When Mrs A last visited in February she used Alpybus.
I’ll be there late June, can’t remember exact dates. If flying to Geneva I’ve used both Alpybus and Skiidy Gonzales for transfers.

Train to Thonon and then a bus up to Morzine is easy enough if you're not too late in the evening; obviously a bit trickier if you're lugging bike boxes. Train from the airport will have at least one and maybe two changes. Thonon bus station is 100m from the train station.
For direct transfers, there's Skiidy Gonzalez, AlpyBus, and many other companies, although mid-June is quite early in the season, so some companies might not have shared transfers available.
Or just hire a car and then you can easily get to Morgins, Samoens, Bernex etc for a bit of variety
23-29th July
Will be on a Cotic Jeht in light blue (which always draws comments from non uk riders) so say hi if you see me.
Interested to see how things evolve with the proposed no freeride on Pleney ruling. It has the potential to really change the dynamic of Morzine.
I don't know how they would ever manage to police Pleney. When they shut down Super M off piste there were only a couple of options so it was easy for them to catch people and threaten with having passes confiscated if caught again. Pleney must have 100+ variations of off piste trails.
If they do somehow shut it down, it seriously restricts the good riding actually in Morzine, and will add to the queues and traffic elsewhere.
It was on the Morzine Source facebook but I can't find the post now. Plans in place to restrict off piste riding on Pleney.
