Hi,
I'm going to be in Chamonix for a few days at the start of September.Can anyone recommend somewhere were I can hire a bike and Guide for the day?
Thanks
A few places to rent: ZeroG, LegendCHX and Intersport in the centre of town.
ZeroG is also home to the Chamonix Bike Book, and would probably suffice for a few days riding (can't really recommend a guide as I've not hired one).
Early September will miss the bike ban (August) and lifts start closing in the second half of the month.
I have no idea whether their guiding is any good but I've biked and can recommend most of the trails these guys describe here: [url= http://www.singletracksafari.com/ultimate-alps ]Singletrack Safari[/url]
As @niggle says, start of Sep is a good time to visit as bike ban stops. More than enough riding with an IGN map and a copy of the bike book. IME (PdS) a single day guide runs around €250. Union laws mean you can't just offer your services if you feel like it. You can try MCF [url= http://www.moniteurcycliste.com/74-haute-savoie/ecole-mcf-de-vallee-de-chamonix ]MCF Chamonix[/url]
