Le Tour gondola is broken (like about 1/2 our lifts at the moment…) however the Vallorcine gondola has had its opening extended to compensate, so will be turning until the 16th. Way better this way round, get train to Vallorcine instead of Montroc, short pedal over the col from the top of the gondola then down to the chairlift which is still running. Then ride all the swiss side variants or if you just want to lap Posettes (really, what is it with everyone and that trail?) then do the Tre le Champ variation and it’s 5 mins over the col des Montets and a cruise down fun trails back to the Vallorcine gondola.
Also, Les Houches is still all open until the 16th and is where all the best trails are at the moment (the new official DH track from Prarion is getting run in at the moment ready for work over the autumn and is tree dodging loam ruts of the finest quality) plus PlanPraz is still open for some rocky and technical fun.
Way more options than Verbier right now!
Though that all changes after the 16th when it’s just Bellevue at Chamonix, whilst Verbier keeps running through to 28th October this year!
Verbier itself is easy to self guide for the bike park, it’s bikepark! start on Blue and work your way up as feels appropriate. There’s a map available for free from the lift stations that shows some of the trails a little away from the bike park, basically though if there’s NOT a no bike sign at the top of the trail then it should be a good trail. Unfortunately all the Tzoumnaz side lifts are closed now so it’s a bit of a pedal back from all the good stuff over there.
