Heading over for 2 weeks.
Taking road bike as with family and generally get out in the morning before everyone's awake for an hour or 2.
Want to hire a bike for a day to do some trails though, any recommendations for hire?
Also will have an 8 year old wanting to do some lift assisted trails, any recommendations for a decent bike hire for this age?
Any road events on? Someone told me about a time trial to avoriaz which anyone can enter, wouldn't mind giving something like that a go.
It's worth a tour of the shops to see what's about, I wouldn't know the name of it - but there was a place I saw with a small collection of Commencal kids bikes including those super cool, super expensive DH bikes.
If you want my advice, don't try to avoid a short red XC route by 'shortcutting' it and then getting lost for 3 hours with an 8 year old who needs a poo, I was NOT popular.
I think French trail grading is slightly more severe than the UK equivalent, maybe worth bearing in mind.
My 8yr olds can do fod blues
Pleney blue's different all together.
There's some great Greens for kids, the run down super Morzine is amazing
We use alpine sports in morzine
My 8 year old did the Chavannes red in Les Gets - but that is pretty straightforward. His then 3 year old brother did it too on a LOCT on my bike.
The wife and mother in the equation couldn't watch and waited for us at the top - we went back down the green.
I'd say it's possible but pre-ride it yourself and see what you reckon.
Aquariaz is good with children.
