So we're off to Morzine again in a couple of weeks. I'm certainly not averse to the waymarked DH tracks round Morzine / Les Gets / Lindarets etc, but I'd quite like to get away from that a bit into the hills and maybe doing a couple of epic day rides. Where's a good place to start looking for route guides, what maps do we need etc?
Google throws up a whole smorgasbord of information, so some handy pointers would be much appreciated.
Off mark not so sure but just got back from Les Gets (First alps Trip) and did the Black XC loop on The Chevannes side and then after decending took the lift up mont chery for the red Tour Good days ride .. then you can freewheel down the hill on the road back to morzine ?? Come up the plenny lift first Nice decent to Les Gets have a Take the Chevanne lift to the top start Black XC - decend to Les Gets have a bite to eat take Chery lift Red route round mountain Freewheel home , Nice

I have a whole bunch of *.gpx files for you if you want. My email is in my profile if you want to get in touch.
Here to help 🙂
Might I recommend (1) the Col de Cou descent to Barme (if you're discreet) and (2) the Bourgeoisie descent into Samoens, then heading further into Sixt/Flaine if you can be arsed? Both are on Flowmtb/Ridemorzine/Endlessride's website. A nice little 1-2 punch for 2 days.
Cheers guys, some very good pointers there, and just the right kinda stuff we're looking for too I reckon.
Ambrose - you have mail incoming!
Looks like I might have an excuse to buy a cheap GPS too...
Good lord... I'd quite like to do the PDS, but I think I might use the lifts...
I did a guided week (with Endless rides), then used the knowledge gained, to explore the area ourselves the following week.
next time I used this http://www.roughrideguide.co.uk/Morzine-and-Portes-Du-Soleil.html Very handy.
the VTOPO guide has even more in it, but is written in proper shonky english translated guidance for which proper pathways to utilise upon your bicycle are given.
Ambrose can i take you up on the offer of the GPS routeas please 🙂
