Morzine is known throughout the mountain biking community for it’s long, steep downhill tracks, both official and unofficial. Now, we’re not about to reveal where Morzine’s secret trails are!

A huge thing to consider is how long the journey will take you, and what state of mind you arrive in. 

The thing with Morzine is, you’re going to be pushing yourself. Unless you live in the Alps, it’s unlikely you come across 30 meter root sections, relentless, jagged rock gardens or trails you’d struggle to walk down that last for 10 minutes, let alone lift assisted with the opportunity to get 20 or more laps in a day for the whole holiday!

Finale Ligure is not any normal kind of trail centre. These trails are built and maintained, but not groomed, the terrain is as diverse as passengers on the London underground, the sheer scope and crossword puzzle like nature to the way the riding areas present themselves blows your mind the first, second and third time you visit. Bike Park Wales is a lot of fun, but this ain't Kansas anymore Dorothy. Simply put, it's an adventure.
