Morzine Avalanche Cup Downhill

The Avalanche Cup course in Morzine, also known as Le Pleney, is probably the most well-known of all the downhills in the Portes Du Soleil resort. Having had many seasons of riding, the course is hard packed and littered with vicious braking bumps.

The track starts out with some fast, fun flat corners and challenging root sections. A fast ‘ski jump’ launches riders into more flat-out turns before coming to the legendary ’Ten Percent’ section. This is a short, very steep, very rutted section of the track; good brakes are essential!

A wooded, fast section follows which has a unique hip jump to tunnel section as well as some challenging technical parts.

With the majority of the course finished riders cruise down a fire-road before hitting the last few flat, loose corners and trying not to break themselves on the infamous bridge.
