Frequently Asked Questions...

Here are some of the things that we're asked most often, we hope they will answer most of your questions... if not, just drop us an email.

Where are you, and how do I get there?

We are based in Essert Romand in the Northern French Alps, just five mins from the ski resort of Morzine, and an hour away from Geneva and the Swiss Border.

It takes about 7 to 8 hours to get to Geneva from Calais and 75 mins from Geneva to Essert Romand.

Where will we be staying, and what is provided?

You will be staying in Chalet Perrier for 6 nights from Sunday evening to Saturday morning. It's half board accomodation so breakfast is provided, along with a 3 course evening meal (with wine).

What about Lunch?

Lunch is not included, and will vary according to riders wishes. Some days we can organise a BBQ lunch stop with a charge per rider and on some days we will visit local restaurants. This is charged individually and is up to you.

How does it work?

Holidays run from Sunday to Saturday, but we are happy to offer you longer or shorter stays if you wish.

Arriving on Sunday afternoon, you will have a riders de-brief. You will then be split into groups (of no more than five), and introduced to your guide over a get-together BBQ.

Do I have to come Sunday to Saturday?

No you can come any time for as many days as you like, we will adjust the price to suit.

Do I need to bring my own Riding Kit?

Yes.

Can I hire a bike from you when I get there?

No. We ask you to bring your own bikes with you.

Does my bike have to be Orange in Colour?

No you can bring any make of modern enduro bike, as long as it’s fitted with a standard enduro silencer and is road legal.

Do you supply the Fuel for the Bikes?

Yes we will supply the fuel for the bikes, but you will be charged separately for this, (please allow between 15 to 20 euros a day). Please bring your own Jerry can and two stroke oil, if you are riding a two stroke.

Where will we be riding, and for how long?
