This year’s MTB show for the Pass’Portes du Soleil MTB will be in Morzine. Bigger than ever, it’s going to pretty much take over the centre of Morzine and over 10,000 people are expected.

6 days NC = liftpass valid 6 days to be used on a non-consecutive basis during the 2012 summer season.
The hands free card is an extra 3 euros – we’ll refund this to you if you return your pass to us at the end of the week as we can reuse them for future guests.
If you’re staying with flowmtb this summer we can sort out your Portes du Soleil lift pass for you. Just add it to your final booking info and we’ll make sure it’s read and waiting for your arrival.
After leaving the dusty dry trails of Finale Ligure after the Super Enduro this weekend, we headed back across the border into France where we had a date with Seb and Manou from Pep’s Spirit.
After a day of rain and rest we were ready to get back out riding and keen to find out more about Val d’Allos, a place we’d heard lots of good stuff about, but never ridden before. With Manou providing vehicle uplift and Seb guiding we were perfectly set up.
The trails definitely did not dissapoint. In two days we rode pretty much everything there is to like about mountain biking. Rocky gullies, swoopy forest singletrack, tight technical switchbacks and big panorama exposed singletrack. Plus of course a special snowy descent.
Better photos to follow once I get hold of Sian’s….
After a packed weekend at the Champéry MTB World Championships in the Portes du Soleil the girls from the most successful team at the Worlds (1 gold and 1 silver medal!) made sure to say thank you and goodbye to the flowmtb team.
We’ll never know whether their success is due to the flowmtb cake or all those runs on the Portes du Soleil DHs….
What we do know is we’re looking forward to having them back next year!
Team GR stormed the World Champs with both Fionn Griffiths and Emmeline Ragot getting medals. Fionn came 2nd in the 4X and Emmeline won the DH. The girls were both quick to thank us for the time spent at flowmtb in Morzine this summer – the perfect training ground for success!
Fionn Griffiths, fresh from her latest stay at flowmtb stormed through tonight’s 4x, narrowly missing the win to take 2nd place. Aneeke Beereten was first, with Morzine’s very own Celine Gros in 3rd.
This week the MTB and Trials World Champs are taking place in Champery, part of the same linked Portes du Soleil MTB area as Morzine.
The lifts are staying open so bikers can get over to see the action. Due to the rally the lifts are not fully open on friday and saturday, but extra early opening has been added so you can still get over to watch the stars!

A few of the guys from Dirt came to stay in June and here’s what they had to say….
‘exceptional value’…’the food really was top class’…’it was good to bed down somewhere homely’
