Dirt magazine decided to celebrate making it to 100 issues by picking their 100 favourite things in mountain biking. No mean feat.
Unsurprisingly the Portes du Soleil made it in there (Pages 102-103), described as ‘one of the worldwide strongholds of summer mountain biking‘. With a particular mention for Morzine as as the best resort to stay in.
Seems that we’ve been getting a bit of the summer sunshine recently here in the alps – so thought it best to make the most of it with a trip down the road to Dorenaz – near Martingy in Switzerland.
tiny lift – public transport, swiss style!
That’s the “bus stop” up top.. not a bad view.
Obligatory photographers bike shot 
The way down mostly looked like this. Was hard to concentrate on the exposed singletrack with that view!
There’s some really great rinding there, a top day out if ever you’re in the area! It’s only an hour and a half from Morzine as well – and as the lift runs throughout the year it’s a great off season option when the ski resorts are shut / covered in snow!
