The 3 circuits all take advantage of the lifts The route only takes one day, and whether you ride it on Saturday or Sunday is up to you.
The weather has been fantastic the last week lots of bright blue sky and the trails are looking good with new trails for this summer season, a new bike park at the foot of the Pleney, a new green track from the top of the Pleney cable car into Morzine and a new link from Morzine to the Chavannes lift in Les Gets.
