Hello All,

I’m off to Morzine on Saturday and am keen to give the Passporte a go. I know it’s all quite well signposted but wouldn’t mind having a gpx file lurking on the Garmin. Does anyone have a file of this year’s route that I could have, please?

OP its worth studying the map to look for any interesting shortcuts or event options. By its very nature the marked route is for all standards of rider (ie inc less experienced). For example you can take the black run Toboggan into Linderets on way back from Switzerland off gr5 rather than fire road. Ditto from Morzine to Linderets take one of the Reds. Les Crossets has some nice Red runs you can use in either direction out / back.

That one looks like the full loop from Morzine. A couple of notes though – the official route will take you down some fireroads instead of decent red/easy black bits (unless you find the right GPX to follow, as they are optional extras on PPDS day). Also not all the lifts open on PPDS day are open normally (Pre la Joux from the bottom of Chatel bike park for example – you go back up to the top of Pierre Longue and head left and up a gravel road which leads all the way down to Chatel)
