From Samoens we'll take the 2euro shuttle to the col to ride the Bourgeois, but I fancy dropping down to Les Gets first. Any suggestions for a good way down?
I'm thinking ideally footpath type riding rather than PdS bike park stuff, but I don't really know the Les Gets and Morzine stuff.
Looks like getting back using the Chavannes lift is pretty straightforward.
Thanks
Coming in from that direction, you can hop off the road at the first little parking area that you come to (opposite a restaurant), then follow the fire road round to the far side of the bowl (following signs for Chappelle a Jacquicourt). When you've done the first bit of steep-ish uphill, you can choose left to follow the marked XC (which used to go to the Chapelle, but now misses it - if you go this way, I'd recommend actually just following signs to the chapelle, it's much better) or head right past a little house and then past a restaurant (closed in summer). Just as the fire road heads up (where a new chairlift is being put in), there's a trail going left into the trees - follow that for a while, it traverses for a bit then goes mainly downhill in the trees. After about a kilometre the main trail swings right and there's a turn to the left - go left and down across a grassy boggy field , follow the tyre tracks to the right, over a couple of fallen trees and a short, sharp uphill. From the top, it undulates for a couple hundred metres, then there's a right turn into the trees (fairly obvious, but can be missed). really good section in there that eventually brings you back into Les Gets across the Perrieres piste. Then roll down to Chavannes, up, down to Nauchets, up again and pedal back round to Joux Plane
Amazing, thanks. Good knowledge
