Great video from an amazing series, really useful guide. Hoping to get over there with friends this summer 🤞🏻

[@MtbTrailHub]

Great to hear and i'm chuffed it's helped you out. Thank you If you need any more info then shoot me over an email or DM on fb or instagram.

[@jasperchatterton2804]

Great video, very interesting seeing this area with no snow there, as I,v only ever been there in winter. Keep this great content coming 👌👍

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thank you very much! Yeah the contrast is unbelievable, I look forward to going there in the winter someday!

[@etienneotten738]

Great trail, we did this yesterday, and today we have road the canyon.. That’s was really great!! Our friends and me, used your videos as inspiration!! Thanks for that, keep up posing the videos!!!

[@MtbTrailHub]

That is awesome! Its so good to to hear people taking action from the videos! Enjoy the rest of your trip.....next video is out Sunday evening from Morgins!

[@TrailFinder]

Great vid mate. enjoying this little series. Thanks for putting them together.

[@MtbTrailHub]

No problem 👍 Thanks for tuning in. I think this is the way my channel will go in the future as uploading decent content weekly whilst working is too much work and not enough play! haha

[@TrailFinder]

Tell me about it. I’ve switch to fortnightly. May even go monthly. I want to enjoy the bike for me ,without the camera and the hassle of making vids. Thanks mate 👊

[@kevinkneller6157]

Sick droneage dude. Great stuff guys wow what a place.

[@MtbTrailHub]

Cheers Kevin Glad you enjoyed it, The drone was made for places like this! haha It's impossible to get a bad shot!

[@peterbeer4746]

That was so worth the time and effort to get to that trail, and now defiantly want to go there next year for sure 👊👊 cheers, and you took that gap jump with ease

[@MtbTrailHub]

No troubles,You should! It's not too bad when you know the route and it can be tied in with a session at Chatel or Linderets too.

[@JamesRobertMTB]

This track is so much fun!!!!! Plenty on there to keep you interested !

[@MtbTrailHub]

For sure! could lap this area all day!

[@paulmaxey73]

Great edit Jamie.. the views were stunning..and the trails were mint.

[@MtbTrailHub]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's hard to beat this one!

[@yorkshireyeti]

I'm heading to Morzine in a few days and really want to ride this, do you have a gpx for directions or a strava ride I could look at? Thanks for all your vids by the way they have been really useful deciding what to ride!

[@MtbTrailHub]

Happy to help out, glad they have come in useful. Unfortunately not i'm afraid. Have a great trip

[@darrenparfitt1520]

Done this route several times over the years, great trails and so different from the bike parks. The next lift on will also take you to Switzerland where you can ride the legendary Champery downhill. 👍👍

[@MtbTrailHub]

Yeah you are right, feels like a different area completely. I haven't ventured to the Champery DH for years as we always seem to run out of time. How is it these days? Still as crazy steep as ever?

[@darrenparfitt1520]

It’s steep, but fun. It’s just one of those runs you have to have on your bucket list. The first time I rode it, made me realise what an incredible rider Danny Hart is.👍

[@dfc70]

First summer in 9 years I haven't been able to ride over to Le Crosets with my buddies - not a happy bunny - trip gonna be twice as long next year!!

[@MtbTrailHub]

That's the spirit! i like your style.....

[@LindaWellington]

Such a cool video 😎👏👏 Heart in your mouth at times 😱

[@MtbTrailHub]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Linda. Yeah for sure.......sometimes it's best not to look down! haha

[@mattcurran7526]

So glad we done that last month 👊🏻

[@MtbTrailHub]

One of the lucky few!

[@alisdairengland1368]

Those burms did look 👌

[@MtbTrailHub]

All time great!

[@sidean4696]

Love your vids, keep up the great work. If i want to explore the Ports Du Soleil area (love single track / Berms / table tops etc). The only thing i wont be doing are gap jumps as i’ll end up breaking something no doubt 😆 With the above in mind, would you suggest a downhill or Enduro bike would be best ??

[@MtbTrailHub]

Hey Si, Cheers, Thanks for tuning in! What ever you're more comfortable on really, but let's be honest if you've got a DH bike and you're not taking it to the Alps then you may as well sell it! haha Both bikes are more than capable, DH bike will be easier on tired limbs but more of a slog on the pedal sections......

[@markstewart3939]

How did ya find the Reign for the Alps? Never ridden abroad from the UK before and looking at up biking from my Giant Anthem SX to something more Enduro-ey...

[@MtbTrailHub]

Yeah i love the reign, It's capable of almost anything in the alps. Not saying that a DH wouldn't be better on some trails but as an overall......It has coped really well out there. It helps to be a bit more precise with your lines, rather than bulldozing through the rough stuff like you would on a dh bike. The brakes have struggled a bit on the really long descents but other than that it's spot on.

[@minhbo64]

Great video, I am planning to do this in August. I think I have a good idea of how to get there now thanks to this video. But how do you get back to Morzine from there?

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thanks for tuning in! The one piece of key information regarding coming back from this route is to make sure you get to the top of the Mossette suisse lift. From the top of there you are still a long way from home but it's possible to ride back without using lifts. It's not a complicated route but until you've done it it will be confusing. The easiest way to explain it would be to exit the Mossette suisse lift and follow the red PDS signs back to Lindarets. For directions - Come off of the lift and join the fire road as it bears to the left. Follow it down the hill and take the next left rather than carrying on towards the Suisse national trail. Follow the red signs from here and peel left again on the XC trail. Once you drop back towards Lindarets just stay on the undulating traverse and it will take you back to Lindarets valley floor. Be sure to do a few laps of the Crossettes chairlift as there is an amazing red run underneath which brings you back directly to the bottom of the chairlift. I'd advise not to go head to this area if storms are predicted as they can close the lifts. Rain is ok, thunder and lightning..... very frightning! haha

@@MtbTrailHub Thanks for the reply!

[@MegaArturion]

great video! This trail looks absolutely incredible - cant wait to check it out.. Whats it like getting back to Morzine from there? Fairly self-explanatory?

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thanks Arthur, It really is as good as it looks! It's way easier getting back but does include a bit of pedaling(not much though). Once you're done lapping the swiss gems then follow the fireroad to the left at the top of Mossettes- suisse chairlift. After a few hundred metres down the fire road bear left again and lookout for the red PDS signs again. keep heading left and it will take you back to Linderets again! Have a blast! Enjoy!

[@chrisbilsborrow9329]

@@MtbTrailHub thanks for the video very helpful. From Linderet would you head back on the road through ardent, or go back up to Avoriaz.

[@MtbTrailHub]

@@chrisbilsborrow9329 It depends how you’re feeling and what time it is. I prefer getting the lift to avoriaz and riding back via Super Morzine depending if the lifts are still open. Dropping down the road can be a good option if you want to go to montriond lake. Bear in mind there will be a short uphill pedal (roughly 1m) back to Morzine from montriond .

[@ianchrisstewart]

Hi Jamie - I am going out next week for the Pass Portes 2024 and wondered is the Swiss National part of the the Pass Portes Route or is it separate?

[@MtbTrailHub]

Nice! The swiss national trail is not part of the PDS loop however you will ride very close to the entrance to it. If you were really keen and making good time you could drop in for a quick lap and then rejoin the loop. It's possible..... just depends if you are making good time. Enjoy!

[@thijsvervaeke4844]

if you go back to France starting on top of the Mossettes, which trail do you take?

[@MtbTrailHub]

You'll want the Red PDS route back. From the top of mossettes when you get off the chairlift the trail follows around behind the lift staion to riders right. Instead of dropping back into the suisse side, bear left and it will take you back to Linderets eventually. From here you can either get the avoriaz chair up and drop into super M or bypass the chair and go down the road through goat village and down into morzine via Lac d Montriond. There will be a small bit of pedalling either way.

[@nickt471]

Clean out and re grease your headset mate. Thank me later

[@MtbTrailHub]

hahaa, for some reason the giant headset needs cleaning out after every 2 or 3 rides and has done ever since new! Just going to get it replaced for the next series so don't worry!
