If you are serious about mountain biking, Morzine has some fantastic opportunities on offer. Then again, so do a number of other locations in France – so what makes Morzine different?

Well to start with, the key word is the “mountain” in mountain biking – Morzine is not simply a pretty village surrounded by a few tame hills with some bike tracks on them. This is a traditional village (not a recent tourist creation) set amidst the splendour and grandeur of the Alps. These are real mountains and, in fact, Morzine sits close by Mont Blanc – Europe’s highest peak.

Mountain biking here also isn’t an activity that has been cobbled together to be used over the occasional weekend. The local community has invested serious money in creating a range of breathtaking trails and tracks. There are demanding tracks and trails here that will put even the toughest, most experienced and fittest bikers to the test. Whether you are in that category or in a rather more sedate ‘take things as they come’ group, you can be sure that the scenery in and around this village will quite literally take your breath away.

Of course, for serious mountain biking, Morzine needs to provide more than just some great scenery and fresh air (important as both of those two things are to your average biker). In that respect, as in others, Morzine won’t disappoint. There are over 1000km of tracks and trails to choose from, many of them custom designed and constructed. You’ll be able to choose from exemplary opportunities in downhill, cross-country and BMX – or even fairly sedate cycling expeditions if that happens to take your fancy.

Some of the biking opportunities in and around Morzine are close to legendary. For downhillers, the Les Gets challenge will get the adrenalin pumping for just about all bikers, irrespective of their experience. There are also some great freestyle BMX tracks and a number of very testing cross-country paths and trails. All of this is provided in superbly maintained surroundings and with the opportunity to buy equipment, if needed, in the local area.

Inevitably, the sun will set and you will need to think about something apart from your bike. That’s also when, for mountain biking, Morzine comes into its own by offering a fantastic choice of quality chalet-based accommodation – much of it at surprisingly modest prices. The fact is that many alpine resorts are very keen to further develop their spring and summer holiday business and this may allow you to pick up some very attractive deals.

So if you fancy a break involving mountain biking, Morzine can offer you some unparalleled opportunities.
