Friends and I ride this spot all the time. You take a train from the lake down in Montreux up to a little over 2000 meters and then it is up to you to find the singletracks. I know of four different ways down and I just started using Google Earth to find others. Here are some pics.




The runs are almost 2000 vertical meters of singletrack heaven.

Nice, I was there last summer but we didn't take the train up cause we were in a bit of a hurry to Martigny.

I was supposed to go there last Sunday, but my bottom bracket is stuffed. Went out pit-biking instead.

Nice pictures. I in Lausanne last year visiting some friends and rode along the lake, through the vinyards to Montreux & took the train back. Next time I'm out, I'd love to do some offroad riding. I really enjoyed the public transit in Switzerland.

This spot is a 15 minute drive from Montreux and is also accessed by a public train. There are over 10 different trails here. Most people that ride there a lot only know 3 of them.
