I have just got back from a week at Chalet Chappelle in Morzine and I was blown away by the MTB Beds experience and their team. It is insane value for money when you consider the quality of accommodation, food and facilities. Everybody there was super friendly and full of useful local knowledge and positive energy. The whole holiday was very slick and well run and it helped us all to have an awesome time. I will certainly be coming back to MTB Beds for my next trip. Ben

FAQ

Can I change the arrival and departure dates?

If you are a complete group you can enquire as to any dates and any amount of time over 3 days. We are very flexible with this tour but as the accommodation is very small it will always depend on other bookings aswell.

Can I travel to a different airport?

The only possible airport to be collected from is Nice. If you choose to travel by other means this would not change the price.

What are the options at dinner?

Your hosts Luca and Silvia will be able to book restaurants for you, they will also drop you off and pick you up from the restaurant, as a group one of them will often eat with you aswell, giving that local expert recommendations and experience when you need it!

1 night there will be an amazing BBQ cooked by your hosts and served on their terrace, it is included in the price, all you need to do is bring the wine or beer!

There is no kitchen available for self catered cooking options available at the accommodation.

I have a dietary requirement or choice?

Vegetarians or pescetarians are no problem, though please advise us on booking. Please contact us before booking if you are a vegan or have a medical dietary necessity to ensure your needs can be met.

Is there anything like a bar, shop or bike shop where the accommodation is?

Barely, Molini has the basic necessities to sustain life, riding, a bar, and a handful of shops where you can buy water, a toothbrush, a bottle of wine and snacks.

How many trails will we ride each day?

Depending on the length of the trails and long it takes to get to them between 3 and 6 roughly.

How hard are the trails we will be riding?

Quite difficult, the riding here is varied between flowy, technical, tight and high alpine single track. There is exposure in places and there are some trails with demanding switchback sections. There are very few jumps or man made obstacles, you'll find roots and rocks and most lines.

Is there any pushing or pedalling?

Yes, but you have an E-Bike! Expect each day to have around 1000m of climbing and 2500m of descending at a minimum, with uplift assistance. The uplift will be used 1 - 3 times each day.

What are the E-Bikes?

Specialized Levo's. They are equipped with Sram and Shimano components and are well maintained by your guide and host, Luca and his team, in his shop.

Can I bring my own bike or E-Bike?

Yes, you can bring your own E-Bike, you can rent a battery from Luca as long as it is compatible, they only carry Specialized. If the whole group wishes to bring their bikes please advise us in advance so we can be sure to arrange a trailer for the airport transfer.

You can bring your own pedal, non E-bike, but you'll be on the same program as the E-Bikers, unless the whole group bring their own bikes. Please inquire for a price for a tour built around uplifts.

In both instances the price per person will change, we can advise on inquiry.

How far away is Finale Ligure?

It's around 1.5 hours by car to Finale Ligure.

What is the average cost of an evening out?

A pint of Italian pilsner will set you back between €4.50 and €6 depending on where and when you buy it.

Absolutely. With the UK's departure from the EU your EH111 card no longer covers medical care. You'll also want insurance against other circumstances such as bike theft, damage or cancellation for personal reasons. We recommend Yellow Jersey. Booking with us gets you a discount code for 15% off.

For your return transfer flights departing after 13h are advised, as the van will be leaving Molini in line with the earliest clients departure.

The trails here are natural, old walking paths or built and maintained tracks crafted by the locals, for the most part by 20+ year resident Adrian Nash. The riding can be split into two parts, close to the village of Molini or far up into the hills.
