Downhill in France

Pass? Portes du Soleil MTB Festival 27th-28th June 2009 (http://www.passportesdusoleil.com)

 

June sees the Portes du Soleil transformed into a Mountain Biking mecca!

 

On the last weekend of the month any self respecting Mountain biker will be leaving their sense and fears at the door and instead getting charged for a weekend of blasting down the finest tracks the Portes du Soleil has to offer.

 

Riders will be spoilt for choice having the unique opportunity to test their skills on 1000-2250m of terrain over several resorts linking France and Switzerland.

 

However, those bikers amongst us more faint of heart need not worry as the lifts provide a great alternative route for the harder climbs and the variety of terrain means all levels of biker are catered for.

 

The route includes 8 pit stops along the way where riders can recharge their batteries and kick start their energy levels by enjoying the local fare and beverages available unique to that village.

 

Alongside the great riding, MTB also provides the opportunity to see the biggest players in the sport, discover and try out the latest trends in the industry, watch awe inspiring pro demos and have lots of fun!
