DAY 1(sunday):
Starting from les Carroz, heart of the "Grand Massif”, that day will offer you a great ride between the valleys of Giffre and Arve rivers, between mountain pastures and mineral universe. The overview on the surrounding mountains will enable us to visualize the various sites on which we will move. We will reach top Flaine resort 2500m (8,300 feet) of altitude thanks to a gondola. The view on the Mont Blanc range is just breathtaking, and if we are lucky we can see 200 km far in south direction. The Downhill of 1500m (5,000 feet) of uneven negative and 12 km back to the chalet is just Epic and Exceptional!
DAY 2 (monday):
Departure towards the village of les Gets, world reknown resort on several occasions having accommodated the world mountain bike championships. Les Gets resort is also known for its bikeparks and DH slopes, but that\'s not our goal today. We'll prefer real and non asepticized mountain trails: large two path and easy single tracks are on programm.
DAY 3 (tuesday):
From Morzine considered as the MTB Mecca in Europa we will ride the round tour of Portes du Soleil resort, the widest ski resort of the world, with more than 650 Kms of slopes! We will cross the Swiss border to pass in the villages of Morgin, Champoussin, Crosets. We will pass underneath the “Dents du Midi” mountain range in a fantastic environment of glaciers and high mountains! ! A great day of mountain bike awaits you! ! !
DAY 4 (wednesday):
Departure from the village of Megeve to ride on the ground of the "Green Diamond", between the Mont Blanc and the Aravis mountain range in a breathtaking setting .Unknown and uncrowed, this spot is a real jewell. No bikers, a few trekkers, singletracks, alpine chalets, splendids landscapes, a dream... And it is all for us! Imagine 90 km of trails and 2800m of uneven negative are offered to us!
DAY 5 (tuesday):
Riding in the mythic spot of Chamonix under the lord the Alps, the Mont Blanc, is a dream for many bikers in the world. We will carry out this dream by crossing the valley thanks to the cabins of le Tour via Flegere, while going down in the Vallorcine valley by a beautiful singletrack which slaloms under the larches!! Exceptionnal landscapes, various trails will satisfy the hungriest MTB riders... Good whole... After the ride a visit of the city is essential!!
DAY 6 (friday):
La Clusaz resort, another unknown spot. You wanted mountain bike and it is which awaits us with more today than 70% of technical trails , crazy downhills, splendid small tracks crossing the middle of the herds of cows with their large bells, great slaloming trails in the woods. Starting from la Clusaz village, gently wrammig up by an easy cruisy DH to lac des Confins, we\'ll ride on top of Danay, little flat summit separating Clusaz valley of Grand Bornand valley of 800m!! A first epic technical singletracks will improve your skill and your nerves!!! Crossing of the plateau of Beauregard and, cherry on the cake, we'll finish this last day ride by the unforgettable downhill of la Patton:
Hang your belts and revise your brakes, that will go down steep! Steps, narrow lacets, rocks, roots are at the menu for this final descent!! The paradise... |
