Cycling in Morzine

For at least 10 minutes every day, Chalet Musardière in Morzine falls silent, save for the sound of cutlery scraping on plates. The food on a Flow mountain bike holiday is almost as famous as the cycling, and the bursting dinner table in its flagship accommodation is the place where routes are plotted, riding buddies found and tales shared. Morzine in the Portes du Soleil area has long been regarded as the beating heart of European mountain biking, with everything from mellow cross-country trails to vertigo-inducing steeps. Sara and Guy, who run Flow, are both talented mountain bikers and provide guests with everything from route and bike advice to satnavs with the best trails programmed in and a bike workshop for when you need some mechanical help. The atmosphere in the shared lounges is sociable and inclusive: if you don’t turn up with friends you’ll certainly leave with some.
• Chalet Musardière is available through Flow (+44 (0)8454 742 743, flowmtb.com) from 11 June. A seven-night stay including breakfast, dinner and afternoon tea is €445pp

flowmtb feature in The Guardian’s top 5 singles holidays

When Guardian Journalist Susan Greenwood was asked to think of 5 great holidays to go on alone, she naturally came up with flowmtb.

Here’s what she had to say:

2) Flow MTB, Morzine, France
I write a lot a about Morzine, I know but that’s because it really has the makings of something excellent. At the epicentre of the Morzine mountain bike scene is Flow MTB and its associated MTB shop Torico. Dinnertime at Chalet Musardiere is legendary with the cooking almost as good as the craik. If you can’t find a kindred bike spirit over one of their gut-busting mealtimes then I’m afraid there is no hope for you. Sara and Guy know the trails in the area so well it’s almost like they built them themeselves, the chalet has its own workshop, TVs and DVDs in every room, Garmins, route planners, the works. Never ride alone again.
