Mountain biking, or VTT (Vélo Tout Térrain) in French, including high altitude descents, is one of the fastest-growing adventure sports in the Alps. And while primarily a spring to autumn pastime, enthusiasts are steadily pushing the pedals – or handle bars - to include downhill winter assaults as well. British mountain biker and former CERN Engineering Fellow Eddie Andrews explains his passion not only for the Swiss and French Alps, but for the forested Jura mountains overlooking Geneva. As he points out, the Lake Geneva region must rank as one of the best mountain-biking starting points in the world.
