One of my all-time favorite biking trails is the Gspon-Brig trail, and I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing it both on an ebike and a regular one. As I scrutinized the map, I stumbled upon a remote gem known as Üsserie Nanzlicke, situated above the Simplon Pass, which immediately became an enticing destination. Above, from […]

Along with my Canyon Spectral:On CF9 eMTB I’ve also got a Canyon Neuron AL6 which is non assisted. It’s a great bike to take advantage of the public transport network we’ve got and the all-year MagicPass. As a 29er trail bike it’s great on the sort of single track we have here plus it’s lighter

Over at Morgins the lift wasn’t running for the summer as they built a new one, but it’s late season and all other lifts are shut as well. It feels a little early to do that but it does make for a quieter time on the trails and it’s ideal for an e-bike. The autumn

This was actually in two parts, I’d been with Sarah but she had COVID and only managed a part circuit so I went back and completed the route a week later. I’d say it’s a bit mixed, some sections are excellent but some are quite tricky. My overall feeling was there was a better route

A circuit from home to Vers L’Eglise and back with a great lunch at the L’Auberge de L’Ours in Vers L’Eglise. This combined some of the best trail sections into a nice route with some good variety.

Portes du Soleil from Morgins over the Portes d’Hiver and Col de Chesery. I’ve done this trail a few times but I think only in the spring and autumn. Yesterday was a bit autumnal and needed to put a light merino layer on to keep the wind off. I’ll mention that I’m wearing a Simond

I’ve considered this route a few times but it’s pretty clear from the map and my memory that some sections are not easily rideable. And, that’s exactly how it turned out, the descent from the col d’Isenau has a few flowing sections but there’s a few sections where it’s pretty tricky. I was surprised that

This is a favorite local tour climbing up to the pas de Cheville. There was still snow in places and the last few hundred metres were awkward. On these spring days there’s also still some avalanches as the high gullys below Glacier 3000 release their snow. The pas de Cheville is a wide open alpage

It’s hard to tell this time of year how much snow will be left at 2000m. But, taking an optimistic view I thought I’d try this route which is one of my favorites locally. It turned out there was a lot of snow in places and I probably ought to have turned around. The worst
