Tell me about Morzine....
So I am thinking next summer I need to get Europe off the bucket list. Basecamp in the Morzine area for like 2 weeks. The recent enduro bro YT videos from their off time in the area have me sold.
Local french enduro races?
Where to stay.....small apartment or cabin type deals? Full dirtbag with a transit connect type van and a tent?
This is all assuming the planet isn't a smoldering space rock at that point.

Don’t forget to bring your skis too. You’ll only be about 2 1/2 hours from zermatt and summer skiing.

formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
Fukt: a very small amount of snow.

Never been but same thought on the EWS/WCDH dudes shredding Morzine, both the official tracks and the loamers through the woods at the bottom look so fun. Plus how close it is to other bike parks in the region. Buddy of mine from the UK that I rode with a bunch in Whistler would always talk about fun trips to Morzine so it's definitely on the bucket list. Enjoy!

I don't like the vibe. Too many obnoxious British lads, and often lift lines. Fun for a day or two but look into staying in somewhere like Bourg Saint Maurice if you really want to have a permanent two week base (closer to Aosta Valley, which you should ride). Travelling around would be a better idea - more planning and cash required but since you're considering camping anyway I'd say go for it.

Posted this elsewhere, but maybe helpful. Or maybe not, given I’m a total jong
Really fun area, but with two weeks I’d probably hit a few other spots too.

Good info, thanks Clarkleberry. Definitely want to hit Chatel too. That park always pops up in the enduro/DH pro youtubes.

You should really consider heading down to Finale Ligure, as well. If for nothing other than the food.
