The last of the Morzine and Les Gets chairlifts shut on Sunday. It’s always a sad time of year, wishing that the Portes du Soleil biking season could keep going just a little bit longer.
However, undeterred, Guy, Tom and I headed to nearby Praz de Lys, parked up at the bottom and pedalled up the road to the resort. Feeling very pleased withourselves for earning our descent we had a coffee at the top and headed down on a fast rocky trail known as the Roman road. Before long we spotted a singletrack on the left, a quick check of the map showed us it’d get us back down to the right place so we took it. Steep, technical and wet, it was an interesting, fun descent but sadly over all too quickly. We realised the summer of lift assisted riding has spoilt us all!
We’ll be back mountain biking in Chatel and Champery this weekend though as the lifts open for the weekend and a new group of guests come in ready to ride.
