Just got an email from Alan Milway at Riders Retreat with some good news for the summer:
"This sunny weather has really got me in the mood for the summer Alpine season- and it is fast approaching.
There has been some rumour about late opening times for the lifts and I just wanted to clarify the situation:
This year the lifts are opening in Morzine and Les Gets earlier than usual- to make the most of June. There has been no real reason why the lifts shouldn’t open earlier, and the French tourist office has been encouraged by us and others to allow riders to make the most of the summer biking season.

To this end, the Pleney lift in Morzine will open on 7th June and in Les Gets they have also moved the lift opening forward now to 14th June for the Chavannes lift. (This lift services the side of the hill with the extended downhill course, and numerous single tracks off this, as well as the well like gulley run and also a new route back to Morzine (which is pretty much all downhill and has some great single track on it too).
We’re pretty happy about this news and as such are now offering 15% off any holiday booked in June! Early season is a great time to come and the trails are always in good condition and with news of a new downhill track on the Pleney- it should be a good time to ride!
We have accommodation in Les Gets and Morzine for groups and smaller bookings too. For more info please see:
