Morzine E-MTB Adventure Tour

Day 1 - Saturday

Arrive and settle into your accommodation, build your bike, or have you Specialized Levo setup by our team.

Briefing aperitif to meet the rest of the riders, and dinner with the guiding team to discuss the week.

Day 2 - Sunday

Explore the local valley. The Morzine riding zones have some incredible singletrack to explore, so we'll be using a mixture of the chairlifts and battery power to get a full day out on the bike, to get used to the guides, the bikes, the terrain and ride some awesome local trails.

Day 3 - Monday

Over the back of Les Gets and into Samoens, we'll be riding one of the best trails in the area, then after a quick coffee stop we'll use the bikes to access some of Samoens secret singletracks. Back up and over in the afternoon via a shuttle pick up and you'll be riding singletrack all the way back to Morzine.

Day 4 - Tuesday

Away day. We'll be jumping in the van this morning to ride Annecy, a stunning town 1 hour from Morzine with some awesome singletrack to explore, using the bikes all day for elevation, lunch by the lake, superb!

Day 5 - Wedsday

A well earned rest day, hit up some of the trails you know already, or just take some time to recover before the last 2 days of riding.

Day 6 - Thursday

Back into the van for another away day, this time to the incredible vistas and trails of Chamonix. Ride with the Mont Blanc range in your peripherals all day, with some epic singletrack and outstanding views.

Day 7 - Friday

Portes du Soleil. Using the van a little today to ensure we have battery distance, we'll explore a little deeper into the Portes du Soleil. Many of the lifts are closed so it will be a mixture of uplifts and pedal power to access some of the coolest back country trails in the area, used in years gone by in the EDR, it's going to be a good one!

Day 8 - Sat

Pack up and return home after an incredible week on the bikes.

Ben and crew are amazing at creating and fulfilling on a absolutely wonderful mountain bike holiday. Lodging at the chalets far exceeded expectations. The rooms are great and the staff are even better. Eating meals by the chef for breakfast and dinner are the only way to go. It saves a ton of group time deciding where to go eat. The meals are delicious, thanks Adriane. Ben's organizational skills and local knowledge where on point. He figured out exactly what our group was capable of and sent us in the right direction with the perfect guides. The rental fleet that Atlas Ride Co has is like nothing I have ever seen from a rental bike. Perfectly maintained for no mechanicals issues while riding and thoroughly looked over ever 2 days. I have never wanted to write a review before this experience with Atlas Ride Co. Can't wait to get back and do another holiday with Ben crew.

I have just got back from a week at Chalet Chappelle in Morzine and I was blown away by the Atlas Ride Co experience and their team. It is insane value for money when you consider the quality of accommodation, food and facilities. Everybody there was super friendly and full of useful local knowledge and positive energy. The whole holiday was very slick and well run and it helped us all to have an awesome time. I will certainly be coming back to Atlas Ride Co for my next trip.

Ben P.

2 years ago I stayed with Atlas Ride Co in Chalet Chapelle (Morzine) this year for my first trip to Morzine, due to going out to morzine late in the season I could not stay with Atlas Ride Co for the duration of my trip, so I went on to stay with one of their most notable competitors, and despite the marginally higher price for Atlas Ride Co it was worth every penny. They removed all stress of organising airport transfers and lift passes, allowing you to fully enjoy the riding and trip as a whole, with amazing food (better than most restaurants I went to on the trip) comfortable rooms, invaluable onsite mechanic, great bike washing facilities, a really good atmosphere and fantastic staff. So, whilst other places may appear better value on paper (all though not many are when additional costs are factored in), do not be deceived, as there is simply no substitute for the quality of the Atlas Ride Co Riders week.

Ben J.

We chose Atlas Ride Co for our Morzine trip based on the good vibe we got from their representatives at last year's Fort William World Cup. From our arrival at the chalet we were very impressed with the set up and the welcome we received. The crew are all very friendly, knowledgeable and happy to help, both at the chalet and when we bumped into them on the trails. They were a good laugh, even if some of the banter is questionable!! Aside from the excellent location and facilities Atlas Ride Co have to offer what really sets it apart is the quality of the food served. Mike the chef delivered incredible meals every night which just seemed to get better as the week went on. We would return to the chalet for the food alone! We will definitely be booking for 2021 as soon as the holidays become available. Thank you to all the Atlas Ride Co team for the most amazing week!

Chris B.

Can highly recommend Atlas Ride Co if you're looking for catered accommodation in Morzine! This was our 2nd year and we stayed in chapelle for riders week in August - just before UK quarantine rules were about to come in. The team had everything covered and the Covid measures that were put in place were really reassuring. Friendly crew always on hand - great banter and superb food! All in all - great value! Could not fault and We'll be booking again for 2021!
