Sounds like a meet up for exploration of Jura trails might be in order ?
Take the train up to St Cergue from Nyon ?
Or..,. you can jump on the train to Geneva and take the chairlift onto the Saleve for some of the best trails I've ridden...
I can make a day next week maybe
I'll be in Zurich from the 16th May. I'd totally welcome some 6" riding (especially involving a chairlift 🙂 )
I also have a couple of DH bikes for some more FroCore action. I will probably end up getting up early on Saturdays and driving to the hills.
Hi chaps, sorry completely forgot about this thread! Was back in the UK for Easter, currently now sitting on a train from Geneva. I have my glory with me and hope to use it this weekend in Rochers de Naye, I'm so excited its not even funny! With regards to getting something more all mountainy, I'll be building up quite a collection of bikes starting with a genius LT hopefully. I've heard jura is good so would be keen to explore. I have to admit though, I'm more of a lift up and ride down person than a spend half the day riding up person but keen for some xc too, just need to get a suitable bike.
I'll keep an eye on this thread for any updates. Hope to ride with some of you soon!
Cheers,
Tim
Enjoy....whatever floats your boat.
Wow, just got back from an amazing day riding Rochers de Naye. What a place. Huge variety of riding from loose and rockey to loamy to steep and slidey topped off with unbelievable views and beer by the lake.
I love Switzerland 😀
I can second Rocher de Naye as an experience. I've only ever skied it, but the view (down the length of Lake Leman) in very impressive, as is the train ride up, rising steeply above Montreux. You can even stay in a yurt at the top:

Moleson has the potential (I have not yet visited) to have a fantastic (long) view, situated as it is on the northern edge of the mountains. I experienced something like this at Rigi, near Lucerne, this year (but I don't know about biking there). (If you go to Lucerne, try to experience the Fasnacht)
There are a few people wanting to know about lifts up. I have to declare an interest in that I have contributed minuscule-y to it, but there is a map just out for skiers that is designed to show resorts with easy links to train stations. It might be relevant to downhill(-only!) cyclists, and the creator is very approachable (and a keen cyclist) so if enough interest is shown, he might try to bring out a version that is more bike-centric. Anyway, info at:
