Morzine 2024, lets see your ideas and adventures.

Post by weeksy »

Me and the boys are over in Morzine for 10 days or so in summer, partly for the racing for the boy but also a bit of a jolly :)

So been looking around for ideas and putting some of them here so i can find later, but may also give us all ideas if we're going over.

A bit of Samoens looks fun :)





Looking super super fun with the right level of speed, but also lots of techy roots and sniper turns etc.... I'm feeling this :)

For @crust in case you've forgotten
Basic directions:
– Head to the top of Mossettes and down the fireroad that runs along a ridge on your right looking as you go up the lift.
– Look for black Swiss National DH track (its pretty easy actually) which heads off left and down towards Crosets. At the second road crossing you go right and follow that all the way to the Col De Coux
– Just shy of the summit is a left turn (currently in the middle of a snow drift), there is an earlier left with a signpost, carry on up to the second one (easier to see from the top of the climb)
– Follow that up and down along the ridge, down the steps and lots of tight switchbacks to the hut with a water spring (worth a dunk!)
– Look for the singletrack route on the left of the fire road, and follow that all the way down to the tarmac road (you will cross a few fireroads). Go right down the road all the way to Champery and back up the cable car. Should be self explanatory getting back to Morzine from there.
Directions to col du cou.
