Avoriaz - Chaux Fleurie to the Ardent lift

From La Chatel bike park done, it is the long run back down to to pick up the car at the Ardent lift. Arriving out of La Chatel we find a run under the Chaux Fleurie lift which doesn’t seem to have a name, and yet it is probably the longest run in the Avoriaz bike park. It is mainly in two sections, the top section is exposed and meanders around the mountain with a range of challenging sections and takes you down to the a plateau, the main problem coming down is keeping on the berms as there are a few short cuts that have been warn into the turns so you can lose the line if you aren’t concentrating. The bottom section is pretty good as it carves along a ridge with plenty of table tops and humps to get over as well as providing some steep drops to navigate. The problem with this lower section is that about half way down you pick up a very steep fire road back into the Lindarets valley, if you like going at break neck speed on lose gravel with culverts across the road you will love it, but I don’t so I cut the video after a minute or so. On the way back to the Ardent lift you pass through the Lindarets village, it’s famous for it’s goats, which seem to live in, around or on the houses so it is a bit of a tourist attraction, there was also a local copper on a bike, who seemed to be chasing the goats, but that’s life in France I guess. There isn’t actually a path down to the Ardent lift, so sensible people go back down the road. I thought this seemed dull so I picked my way down a mountain pasture that acts as a red run in the ski season, to be fair it wasn’t much fun either but at least I did it.
