SUMMER MOUNTAIN BIKING NEWS 2013 - CLOSURE OF PLENEY GONDOLA
The Pléney gondola will be replaced with new lift equipment for winter 2013/14. This key new lift will provide improved capacity and better access to the winter ski area and for summer Mountain Biking in Morzine. Ground level access to the top and bottom lift stations will make for quicker access and ease of use.
As we await the opening of this new lift, and due to the scale of the works involved, the Pléney gondola will be closed for the 2013 summer season.
To ensure MTB activities, the local councils and the lift companies of Morzine-Avoriaz and Les Gets, will put in place the following solutions:
· Early opening, from the 15th of June 2013, of the Super Morzine gondola and the “Zore” chairlift. From the 28th of June, an earlier opening time of 08:30am and a 50% increase in the flow-rate will ensure free-flowing traffic. · A bus service adapted for carrying Mountain Bikes will be run daily between the resorts of Morzine and Les Gets from the 28th of June to the 1st of September 2013 (dates inclusive). This bus service will be reserved for those with a Portes du Soleil lift pass. · The Mountain Bike tracks between the resorts of Morzine and Les Gets will be marked out, signposted and maintained.
Further steps are also being examined to safeguard Mountain Biking in the Pléney area, and improve the flow capacity of the lift links between Morzine and Les Gets, by way of the the “Crusaz” and “Mouilles” chairlifts. More information will follow on this subject as soon as possible.
Reminder of lift opening dates: · Les Gets: Every weekend from the 25th of May and every day from the 15th of June to the 8th of September 2013. · Morzine: Every day from the 15th of June to the 1st of September. · Portes du Soleil: The lift links will open for the Pass’Portes du Soleil VTT, on the 28th of June, and will run until the 1st of September 2013; allowing access to the 23 lifts open this summer and linking the 12 resorts of the Franco-Swiss area.
Everyone involved in the resorts of Morzine-Avoriaz and Les Gets is working tirelessly to make sure that Mountain Biking, which is vital to the local tourist economy, goes ahead this summer.
Update 21/04/2013
In addition to the summer bus service, which will transport Mountain Bikers to Les Gets, the “Crousaz” and “Mouilles” chairlifts will be open to Mountain Bikers each morning from 8.30am to 10.30am; this will be dependent on the two chairlifts being certified for this use.
The “Crousaz” chairlift is unable to be used simultaneously by Mountain Bikers and Luge users. Therefore different time slots have been attributed for each group. Mountain Bikers will be able to use the chairlift from 8.30am to 10.30am and the rest of the day will be reserved for the luge.
As concerns the buses – these will run from 8.30-9.00am until 5.45pm (last departure from Morzine for Les Gets). The bus stop will be the usual bus stop at the Pleney. The buses will be equipped with trailers for transporting mountain bikes, with each being able to hold up to 30 bikes per trip.Two vehicles with trailers will be able to step in during peak periods in order to increase capacity.
These buses will be available to Portes du Soleil pass-holders and Mountain Bike traffic will be prioritised. Foot passengers, however, will also be able to use this bus service if all of the seats are not in use.
Bikepark Les Gets pre-opens May 25th-26th, June 1st-2nd and June 8-9 2013 (at a special price) and officially opens everyday starting June 15th until September 08th 2013.
