Today was the Mountain biking day..

After collecting our bikes we set off up the mountain on the chair lift to Les Chavannes.

We then cycled to Lac de Joux plane, a nice downhill ride on a road, with great views of Mont Blanc..

After having coffee we cycled back up to the Les Chavannes.

We then took what was sign posted as a very easy downhill ride suitable for families.

All I can say is that if that was easy I would  not like to try hard .

It was very scary at times because not only was it fast but very narrow and winding too.

After I had recovered we decided to try a cross country route by the river towards Morzine.

Once there we got the De Pleney chair lift up the mountain.

Then just a short downhill section before joining the road and a great fast run all the way back into Les Gets..

Yesterday we took the car to lac Montriond on yet another very hot day.

We decided before we went for a swim we should go for a walk.

So we took the high level route up to the l’cascade d’ardent.

When we got there we spent some time enjoying the water which i can tell you was very very cold but welcome after a hot sweaty up hill walk.

Then it was back down to the Lac where  we enjoyed a swim in the much warmer water.

I love the reflections in the photo below…..
