@Grump yeah that link works thanks although I can’t find the named runs/areas on a map? Is there another way over to Megeve if that lift is out of action or would we need to drive if we wanted to check it out?

@johnhe that sounds really frustrating did you have to ride back up the valley then and did you think Chamonix was worth it overall?

@jedi sounds good will give them a go if we can.

@Grump can you give any more detail – are the marked trails on the map here still ok to ride https://ete.ski-saintgervais.com/fr/e9-plan-vtt? what about Megeve does that have a ban now also?

thanks!

@Grump oh no I really fancied checking out St Gervais – I couldn’t find any specifics on that link, are the marked trails on the map here still ok to ride https://ete.ski-saintgervais.com/fr/e9-plan-vtt? what about Megeve does that have a ban now also?

hi @Grump that’s really useful thanks! do you have any more info on which trails are banned around St Gervais and how is this enforced in practice, can’t you just plead ignorance and apologise if you get caught?

thanks

ok that’s good info thanks – would you stay in Les Houches/Saint Gervaise then or is it easy to get over there and back in a day from Chamonix using the lifts/bus/train?

thanks – since you mention the train “is it easy to use the train to get around the valley – how often does it run and is there limited space for bikes?
It looks like there is some good riding in St Gervais, is it easy to get over there and back from Chamonix in a day? Do you need a different pass for that area?”

@Grump can you help? ;)
