The Critérium du Dauphiné road bike race came through Les Gets this weekend. It’s a fantastic event to be around for, you can just wander round the teams as the riders are warming up and see their race prep close up.
Thanks to Phil Smith for the photos;
And the summer mountain bike season is here!
From tomorrow the lifts are open for mountain biking in Morzine and Les Gets full time. flowmtb has a full chalet of guests, and a team of staff ready and waiting for them to arrive! We’ve been busy all week getting everything ready and finally it’s time.
Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and new friends!
Not yet booked for this summer? Check out what’s available.
For those that don’t know, this is a major road race. The big teams are there and see it as an important race in the lead up to the Tour de France.
The Portes du Soleil (the MTB domaine of which Morzine is part of) is the sponsor of the green jersey. This is an important step towards getting the Portes du Soleil recognised as an amazing area for road riders, in the lead up to a huge new roadie event starting in the next few years.
The Dauphiné will be making its way into Les Gets on Friday 10th, and departing from there at midday on the 11th. It’s a great chance to see some of the world’s best cyclists vying for glory, and easy to ride over on your MTB watch the race and ride back!
Phil has been at the heart of the flowmtb team for a few years now. But his talents don’t lie only in making sure you guys get a great holiday and get to ride the best of the areas trails! He also writes reports for Morzine guide, morznet. Here’s the latest on the opening weekend.
