The Search is based in Morzine, France and offers downhill mountain bike day trips to other bike friendly resorts in the Alps.
We operate to a number of regular venues but are very flexible
and will visit any resort that will make a viable days trip.
The Search is owned and operated by Nick Maher:
"Like many others
I've been coming to
the Alps to ride for many years. I first came out to Morzine nearly ten
years ago and have returned almost every year until I decided to move
out here permanently and concentrate fully on mountain bikes and
snowboarding.
I've been riding bikes all my life, finding my way to downhill in the
mid-nineties and have now let bikes dominate my life to the point that
they have become my "job" as well as "just" a hobby.
The Search is the result of an idea that has been developing
since I
moved to France a couple of years ago, to try to show mountain bikers
the wealth of opportunity that the Alps offers. As a veteran
of many week/fortnight trips to Morzine I've experienced that
frustration of knowing that there must be other places to ride but not
having the knowledge to be able commit to somewhere and just
go! Now after a few summers of exploring and keeping my ear
to the ground, I've started to scratch the surface of the amount of
riding there is in the Alps. Hopefully, The Search will give
a lot more people the opportunity to see more of the mountains with
their bike, without missing out on the tried and tested".
