Nice. Some of my tips in no particular order. 1. Buy something in the bike shops. Yes they are expensive but they only have 3 short months to make a bit of money and justify their existence 2. If you are on a trail bike rent a big bike for the day and smash some stuff 3. Anti inflamatories to keep the claw at bay. 1 in the morning 2 in the evening. 4. Try to minimize commuting. Don't go all the way to Chatel, Do 2 runs and then head all the way back to Les Gets 5. Keep your eyes peeled for a pro. I've seen Gee, Barel, Semenuk, Bearclaw, Greg etc etc. 6. Finish the trip. Don't be a hero and destroy yourself on day 1. There's lots of guys walking around in casts while their mates are having fun. Don't be that guy. 7. Morgins. It's an effort to get out there but it's so worth it 8. Get away from Les Gets ASAP. 9. Watch out for the Mutzig!! 10. There are a lot of places that run a lunch special. 12 Euro for a burger, chips and a coke type of thing. Top tip. They get cheaper the further you go from the lifts. You can also get a sandwich & coke much cheaper at a supermarket of course. But being France some of them close for lunch!!!!
Great tips, agree with all of them apart from the Les Gets part. There's some great trails there.....more than often they are off piste though. Appreciate the helpful insights!
@@MtbTrailHub Yeah I should have qualified that. It's not as if Les Gets is horrible or anything. We use it to get our eye in and then save it for the rainy days. The jump park somehow works in the rain. Love that place so so much. I even took my wife there to ride road bikes after the season just so I could squeeze in an extra trip.
Morzine was my destination this summer! Such a shame it realistically not going to happen. I would recommend the guys at Morzine Star Ski if you want to hire a Mountain Bike rather than bring your own. The team there is absolutely brilliant. Great video Jamie 👍🏻
Get extreme sports insurance so if you bin it badly your air lift, medical expenses and emergency flight are all covered. You can also insure your bike against crash damage (worth it if you have expensive bikes probably)
Awesome video mate! Going for the first time in June - can’t wait! Do you have any tips for natural singletrack over there? Or better in the man made trails?
Thanks Brian, Glad you enjoyed it! Awesome, bet you're counting down the days! There is lots of natural single track out there off the sides of the main trails under Chavannes and Pleney however they are pretty rough around the edges and see little to no maintenance. They are still great though and some can be very technical! If you want the real natural single track stuff then you will want to get a guide tbh. It's way out there. Theres a brilliant descent off the back of Les Gets and down to Samoens. Ask for Steve at info@lesgetsbikeschool.com and he will sort you out.
Hey Jon, It depends how long you are visiting for? If it's for the week then you will want the 6 day Portes Du Soleil pass which will give you unlimited access to everything. It's up to you but you can also get single uplifts or half day passes depending on how much riding you plan to do. If you're Morzine or Les Gets based then you can buy a pass at the bottom of any of the lifts. Enjoy!!!!
Hi Mate. Thank you for the tips. I am going there this Sunday. Where do you recommend i stay? Ill be driving so transport not a issue. Headed to italy after.
Stevo's RUclips Cheers Stevo 👍 . Yeah shame as you might be a few weeks too early!! Morzine and Les Gets are staying open until mid September this year so there is hope you can still make it happen! 👍. Fingers crossed 🤞
Yeah, Saalbach is brilliant. Very different feel to it. Less British, longer descents but less trails. Can be combined with Leogang a short drive away for an epic trip! I made a video of the place here …..ruclips.net/video/rs1zD6vOM90/видео.htmlsi=TQFyo9wT0JMNhOn5. Only a few hours from Schladming too which is an incredible bike park….you can find videos also on this channel. 👍
Try this..... 210 Taille de mas de tant crue 74110 Morzine France It's a small spot just outside of Morzine which campers are allowed to park in with a few electrical hook ups. Another option is the campsite in Les Gets which never fails. People used to park in Nyon carpark but i think they are not allowing it these days. Good luck, have fun!
@@MtbTrailHub cheers. Thanks. Yes I’m almost certain I’ll stay at the campsite in Les Gets. Planning to be there last week of August so they said they may not be open by then. Otherwise car park. Thanks
I would add bring spares like brake pads, you will use up a set quickly and its way cheaper to take them with you
Yes! great point, I missed that one.....Maybe a mech hanger too if you're really keen.

Was in Morzine last year with my mate and heading over again next year with my daughter. Cracking place. Love your work, Jamie.
Thanks Stephen, thanks for tuning in! Maybe see you over there......!
83 days left to go to Les Gets with my friends!
Thanks for the tips!
you are doing a great job man! keep going 👏
Waheey! Have a great time, happy to help!
Me and a friend are driving out on June 16th, what dates are you guys going?
Morzine was my destination this summer! Such a shame it realistically not going to happen. I would recommend the guys at Morzine Star Ski if you want to hire a Mountain Bike rather than bring your own. The team there is absolutely brilliant.
Great video Jamie 👍🏻
Thanks, Never give up hope my friend! I still think there is a possibility to get out there late Aug/ early Sept. Fingers crossed.....
Can’t wait to try out there trails keep up the good work
Mtb Hou Thanks 👍 hopefully you can get out there someday..... 👌

I like it! nice one Tom, just having this cover gives the ultimate peace of mind......income protection too if self employed.
Awesome video mate!
Going for the first time in June - can’t wait!

Thanks for the tips, hoping to get out to Morzine for the 1st time in August. By the way that looks like my old home town of Eastbourne behind you!
Haha thats a good eye for spotting that! Sure is Eastbourne! Glad they can help out and fingers crossed they let us across the pond in time!
This looks so cool though im not sure i will ever be able to go😂time will tell i guess. Love the vid
The area will be open this summer, Now we just need to find a way to get there.......!
Thanks man! Good insight.
No problem! happy to help

Jamie impressive web lot of information for Undecided riders like me 😉
Hi what lift pass do you purchase? Does a lift pass cover everything? Thanks for the video 👍🏼

You're welcome, happy days!!
Are you camping or looking for hotel etc?
@@MtbTrailHub hotel
nice clip 🤘
Great guide. I'm booked to fly out in a few weeks. Most likely it's going to be cancelled. So gutted.
Stevo's RUclips Cheers Stevo 👍 . Yeah shame as you might be a few weeks too early!! Morzine and Les Gets are staying open until mid September this year so there is hope you can still make it happen! 👍. Fingers crossed 🤞
did u make it out?
@@miles9294 no. Easyjet cancelled.
@@Stevo_RUclips shame, I only got out for a few days myself! hopefully next year is ok
Love it
Yes Gaz! Nice one.....
Ever been to Saalbach? How would you compare them?
Yeah, Saalbach is brilliant. Very different feel to it. Less British, longer descents but less trails. Can be combined with Leogang a short drive away for an epic trip!

Beautifulllll
Sure is, Lovely part of the world!!!
yeah! 🙃
What are the best spots to stay on an auto camper?
Try this.....
210 Taille de mas de tant crue
74110 Morzine
France
It's a small spot just outside of Morzine which campers are allowed to park in with a few electrical hook ups.

@@beastiedk Hard to beat the views from up there👌. Enjoy
How much do the tolls cost each way from calis to les gets?
You’re looking at around £75 euro each way.....
The first rule about the campsite in Les gets is that you dont tell anyone else about the campsite in les gets. ....😉
Hahaa, It's too good to keep to ourselves!
#9. Don't pronounce Les Linderets like a tourist 😂
Haha, but i am a tourist......
