Mountain biking (Alps): The the art of throwing oneself up and down a mountain; riding off ridiculous man made obstacles and getting thoroughly dirty whilst trying to stay upright on your bicycle.
Definition provided by the Rudeville English Dictionary
Morzine is at the centre of the worlds biggest MTB area-the Portes du Soleil which includes 12 linked resorts, 650kms of signposted bike paths; 5 bike parks; dozens of downhill runs; trial circuits & biker cross. In 1996 Morzine opened its first downhill course – the iconic Pleney DH. After hosting the first International French Descente and the Avalanche Cup from 1997 – 2001, the DH still remains a benchmark for MTB riders. So whether you are starting out, a hardened X country rider or a manic downhiller there is something for everyone.
