As the lifts are now shut in Morzine we have to travel a bit more to find some uplifts. A classic among the local riders is the Rocher de Naye, a 2045m mountain over looking lake Geneva in Switzerland. The top is easily reached by an hourly cog train from the centre of Montreux... you might get some curious looks from commuters as you take your muddy DH bike up the escalators of the train station ! The mountain is covered with little hamlets and random chalets which means hundreds of single tracks ! Not to mention that the local riders have built a few extra tracks as well...
We managed to squeeze four runs into the day (yes, that’s 6000m of drops) without pedalling up and all on single-track... wicked ! This is a spot to ride when the weather is good as the views alone are worth the trip.
