Avoriaz Video Report : Tue 30th Jun 2009

**Bonus Report** Pass Portes du Soleil

Updated

Although not much of a cyclist I decided that living in the Portes du Soleil it was my civic duty to investigate why so many people come to Morzine and Avoriaz each summer with their bikes.

When the season started on June 27 2009 I decided that I would take part in the Pass Portes du Soleil.

I didn’t have the best equipment or much experience but I had a map, two twix’s and a plan....sort of.
