No it’s Afan masts which is just next door to the trail centre. No marked trails but they are all on trailforks. Much techier trails

Morzine is one of the worst imho. Verbier and alpes D’huez are the best
@MtbTrailHub22 күн бұрын
It’s definitely got its good and bad points, still a great place to ride although it does have a bit of a theme park feel to it these days. Alpe d Huez keeps growing on me, so much riding in the area, does lack a bit of atmosphere though outside of the Megavalanche. Verbier sounds mint….. people keep saying how good it is….. must get there someday
@CM999999999922 күн бұрын
@@MtbTrailHubverbier is great. Top tip. Stay at the campsite up the valley and they give you a voucher that gets you half price lift passes. If there is 2 or more of you the saving is more than the cost of the campsite

Hi, yes absolutely…. Don’t get me wrong, it’s full on riding and as hard as you want it to be in terms of how hard you push yourself for a result. But there are 3 separate races depending on your skill level. I also made another video about this topic which might help you out…..kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3fRp6edhbCjfpYsi=znUrXULB1RTINWiD

2 questions/suggestions regards the Alps: 1. Have you ever considered doing trips based around Chamonix? Having lived out there for nearly 18 years (until Brexit!) I know there's not a huge bike park but there's at least 3 days of riding to be done in the valley, Les Houches, Le Tour/Vallorcine and I can think of a good day's worth of trailforks riding. However, transfers from Geneva are easy and you're also only 1.5hrs from the Portes du Soleil and the same from the Aosta valley/Pila so IMHO it's a great centre to base yourself around. 2. Does anyone out there do (or can you arrange) e-bike battery hire? (asking for a friend who would rather fly out). I have googled but without much luck and I'm surprised the resort bike shops aren't cashing in, surely there's some demand. There's obviously a lot of brands/batteries you could potentially stock but I'd have thought they could cover the top 5 brands at least.
@MtbTrailHubАй бұрын
Chamonix has never been on my radar but you make some really good points, It would take some research but it sounds like it ticks lots of boxes over there! Thanks, I appreciate your insight. In terms of ebike batteries, this is something i've also wondered about. I think for the cost of a battery and the amount of stock you'd have to hold and the amount you could charge per day just wouldn't make sense from a business point of view. I suppose it's easier to rent the bike and charge double what you could for the battery? We will see how this plays out as ebikes become more popular in the Alps. Thanks for your comment

Yeah I'd say so, It's only on the techier red trails like roots manoeuvres things can get a bit spicy. Stick to the easier reds and almost everything is rollable at the right speed. Have a blast, Thanks for tuning in!

Yes absolutely, ebikes can be pretty handy around this part of the Alps as there are so many enduro trails which have short flat sections or uphills. The ideal bike for Les Arcs would be a mid travel enduro but riding the ebike would be no problem.
