A trip down Le Pleney DH track in Morzine. Le Pleney is a lot steeper, bumpier and intense than it looks in the video! Filmed with a Go Pro 960 in June 2011
@dhmacko91 I totally missed them trails at 3:54 ! I will have to look out for them when I go back (not until next year now :-( ) , although I suspect they may be too steep for me.. :-)
@kinglowieisdamonkey It's not a difficult track at all, although it is fast, bumpy and intense! The black trail that runs under the LePleney lift is much harder to ride, and much steeper in places. I actually found the trail under the lift to be a bit much for my riding ability (there were times I was just holding on and hoping for the best), whereas LePleney itself was easy enough to ride and attack all the way down.
yeah i know what you mean.But still that nothing compared to the tracks off pleney,the tracks of pleney are really steep at 3.54 if you turn right,thats a fun track
@dhmacko91 I stand corrected regarding the WC status. I coulda sworn I had read that somewhere. :-) I would, however, argue that the section at 2:50 really is quite steep, as are a couple of other sections through the woods, eg 4:22

Is this the most difficult track in Morzine? Last year I went to Saalback Hinterglemm and that was quite a challenge for a first time..
