Lead by Champéry legend, Ben Walker, the trail crew have been working hard to provide the best riding conditions for the season opening. The famous WC track has seen a number of improvements to make it smoother and more enjoyable. The Chevreuil trail has also been completely re-done to offer an alternative which is more accessible for all levels.
