Worth knowing

Which bike should you hire? In Morzine, you can spend all week riding your bike downhill, without riding on any Downhill (DH) trails. Confused? Fear not, this guide should help you choose!

Downhill
DH riding takes place on graded man made trails where pedestrians aren't allowed. They will be based under a lift, going from the top of the lift to the bottom of the lift. They are graded Green, Blue, Red and Black (easy to extreme). There will be trail features such as jumps, berms, drops and ladder bridges. For this type of riding, they recommend a dedicated Downhill bike such as the Nukeproof Pulse Comp.

All Mountain
All other riding in Morzine and the Portes du Soleil is on single tracks and fireroads accessible to everyone, bike riders and hikers alike. The trails link up the lift network allowing you to travel great distances from valley to valley with minimal effort. In general you will need to pedal your bike up or along for short distances, but you'll still spend the majority of your ride going downhill. For this type of riding, they recommend a dedicated 'All Mountain' bike such as the Nukeproof Mega 275 Pro.

If you would also like to do some road biking on your holiday to Morzine, remember that Torico is also a specialist Road Bike shop.
