There's no end of spectacular walks and climbs around the Portes du Soleil but you'd be hard pressed to find any quite as challenging, fun and special as the Dent d'Oche ridge walk in the Abondance valley.

The weather has been fantastic here in Morzine this week, about time too, a most welcome return to summer. The outlook is for more sunshine tomorrow and over the weekend with highs around +26 degrees – most pleasant.

Pass'Portes du Soleil Review

This weekend saw the 10th edition of the ever popular Pass'Portes du Soleil mountain bike festival which allows you access to around 650km of trails, via 20 lifts and 12 resort villages on route. We headed over to Chatel, the centre for this year's event, to see what was going on and to ride the route.

Fantasticable Review

Imagine for a minute soaring high above the mountains, with only the sound of the wind for company and with spectacular views rolling out for miles and miles beneath you. That’s exactly what you feel when on the Fantasticable Zipwire in Chatel. Admittedly that flying sensation is accompanied with a few other sensations as well...fear, panic, excitement and of course a bit more fear...

Snowshoeing in Avoriaz

There’s no doubt that most people come to Morzine to experience the amazing snowboarding and skiing that the Portes du Solei has to offer, however hidden underneath the colourful maze of amazing pistes and runs, there’s a much more sedate activity you can do - snowshoeing.

Avoriaz Activity Review: 14th September 2011

An epic mountain bike ride to report upon today. Last week we made the journey from Chamonix to Morzine across some remote mountain terrain under deep blue skies. It was a classic day out of big adventure riding, almost entirely pedal powered, only the initial lift out of Chamonix and some hiker biking along the route interrupting the biking flow.

Avoriaz Activity Review: 27th June 2012

It’s been the usual mixed bag of cycling activities for me of late. Some road biking and some mountain biking. The weather has been mostly set fine since my last report although it is raining as I type. Not to worry the forecast is for 100% sunshine tomorrow and highs of 27 degrees.
