The Morzine Tourist Office have responded by employing a bike company to do a study into how to improve signage, management of trails and to commission a new track on the Pleney. This study is being presented to them in December so by the New Year some more decisions should be made. There is also a working group being formed to look at issues to improve mountain biking.

Morzine are also working to engage the other Portes du Soleil resorts to work with them to improve signage of the area as a whole. As any one that’s been there before will know, the Portes du Soleil is a huge network of resorts and trails, meaning visitors to one resort can ride and use the lifts in all. As well as offering big days out on the bike, this throws up its own problems in engaging all resorts to work together, and Morzine knows it needs to concentrate on ensuring all resorts work together.

Expect to see Morzine and the Portes du Soleil role out improvements gradually over the next few years to boost and improve the already fantastic trail network.

There were over 700 respondents to the survey of British bikers’ experiences riding in Morzine and the Portes du Soleil. Almost everyone responding had been to Morzine and we were pleased to see that 90% intend to come back. The lift passes were voted to be very good value by 90% of respondents and the lift service got a great score.
