Am just planning a summer Morzine trip for a group of mixed ability riders. Last time I was there (2018) we found a small bike park in a village on the road out of Les Gets with a lift and a couple of blue and red trails - can anyone tell me what the village is called?

Are you thinking of Samoens? I guess it depends what you direction you drive on the way out!

I can't think of where you mean.

The road out of Les Gets will usually take you to either Morzine, or down the mountain to Taninges, there's a couple of little clusters of houses on the way down, but I've never seen a lift at any of them.

Are you thinking about Les Gets bike park? You reach it by taking the Chavannes lift and instead of taking the 'motorway' trail down, you go down the mountain on the other side, there's about 6-8 trails there, all fed by a lift that's sort of in the middle of nowhere. The only trail I can remember the name of is Triple 8.

That’s otherwise known as Roc d’Enfer I think isn’t it @freeridenick?

When did answering the op become the main aim? (tongue in cheek)

You turn off the D902 at the roundabout at the top of the Taninges/Cluses col so not a million miles away... 😉

Do they run the lift at Grand Terche in the summer or is it pedal up? Is is separate pass or will Passport du Soleil cover it?

Yep - Les Carroz is the one! Thanks Wibble89!

Also interested in the Grand Terche - we are maybe staying in Le Biot
