Details of our Megavalanche accommodation and front row places.
Archive for November, 2009
Do you want a guaranteed place in the front row of a qualifying wave? Book for the Alpe d’Huez Megavalanche with flowmtb and you could get just that. We have 5 guaranteed places in the front row of qualifying waves; 10 guaranteed 2nd row places; and 10 guaranteed 3rd row places. All available on a first come first served basis to anyone who books with us.
A good start position is key to getting a good place in the main event. Everyone registers hoping for a top position, but there are very few available as most go to pro riders with UCI points. We’ve been able to guarantee you that same privilege.
This special treatment is only available to top pro riders and flowmtb guests! You could be up there with the big names such as Nico Vouilloz, Brendan Fairclough, Fabien Barel, and Chris Kovarick.
Thanks to Andy, one of the guests on our last Morocco mountain bike tour, for this stunning photo of Guy.
We know you’re feeling the effects of the credit crunch and falling exchange rate, and you’re after a bargain at the moment. You don’t want to compromise on quality, but want your pennies to go that little bit further. Here at flowmtb we recognise that and are doing everything we can to give you what you want. We won’t be the cheapest holiday you can find because of our high level of service. However, we don’t think we can be beaten on value for money!
Take a look at the Morzine page for info on our great value Morzine mountain bike accommodation.
We’re also offering flexi stays for anyone not able to come out for a full week or for anyone wanting to take advantage of cheaper mid-week flights.
What’s more we’re giving everyone coming on a full week stay (starting on any date) a free flowmtb tee. Top quality accommodation and the t-shirt of the season - what more can you want!
See some of the pictures from our MTB tour in Morocco this autumn. Six guests joined us for a week of epic trails, sunshine, mint tea and maybe one or two chicken tagines!
We’ve sorted a fantastic deal for the 2010 Mega! We have a top notch small hotel in a great location in Alpe d’Huez, and are already taking bookings for individuals and small groups. Breakfast is served every morning and a three course dinner with wine every night. flowmtb staff will be on hand with info on registrations and with marked maps so you get to ride the best of the area’s trails.
Best of all, In keeping with our price slash in Morzine, this year’s flowmtb Megavalanche accommodation will be cheaper than ever. Last year a week’s B&B with 2 course meals on 2 nights cost €475. In 2010 you get 7 nights of 3 course meals for the same amount! Plus we have even cheaper options if 3 or 4 people share the same room!
A new one is due out soon. For now feast your eyes on the first.

We know everyone’s feeling the effects of the credit crunch and the exchange rate so we’re slashing our prices for summer 2010. A catered week in Chalet Musardiere is down from €530 to just €475 - it’s the same great chalet, with top quality food and service, but at a lower price. Come in June and you’ll pay just €425.
Chalet Snion is being completely renovated for 2010. There will be a far more spacious lounge with comfy leather sofas, an Apple TV loaded with films, a brand new top end kitchen and a wide balcony off the lounge. However, we’re still cutting prices for a full week of B&B from €265 to just €245, that’s €35 per night! June and September weeks are just €200.
Plus, if you’ve stayed with us previously you’ll receive 10% off those prices.
Don’t hang about - reserve your place now!
We’re back in Marrakech now, after some of our best riding ever.
Guy and I started with 4 days riding on new trails, with a local mountain bike guide. We found some great (and a few not do great we won’t be going back to!) new trails that were quickly incorporated into the plan for the following week’s tour. Six keen bikers arrived on saturday, all bikes were safely assembled by sunday morning and they had a day of sightseeing before an early depart for the mountains.
Our group of 6 adventurous riders were game for a challenge, and we certainly gave them that! The trails in our Morocco mountain bike tour are some of the most challenging we ride. Think steep rocky descents; technical trails with tight switchbacks; and long exposed singletracks on loose ground. Add to the obstacles excited children not used to seeing mountain bikers on their local path and it makes for an exciting ride! Many tumbles later, but none serious, we arrived back in Marrakech safely last night and headed straight for food at the atmospheric night markets.
Photos to follow shortly.
