Carrying is expected! </p> <p>That sounds good - I'd read on here that the Fenetre - La Fouly stretch was better as a descent, so I'll climb up the Gr St Brnd way instead, doing the above in reverse effectively. And maybe just miss the valley from La Fouly - Champex as it looks very mediocre judging by the contour lines/GE. All subject to what's discussed when I get out there, when probably the whole plan will change. This will probably end up in some kind of adventure from Verbier down the Val Ferret way into Italy. I know there's good stuff in the Lourtier vicinity too. </p> <p>What I need is a good guide to the hiking trails in the area - sort of like Hilary Sharp's book on Chamonix - to get me started. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/how-does-this-route-in-the-verbier-area-look-to-you#post-2157180 Thu, 06 Jan 2011 16:39:21 +0000 Sanny 2157180@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Day 1 and 2 look like a lot of fireroad or carrying up what may be better as descents. The climb up to Pierre Avoir would be a bit of a ballache the higher you get. Lots of switchbacks and would be a lot of pushing. You'd do far better dropping west off the Verbier side of Pierre Avoir and cutting onto the top section of the ultimate then heading across to erection section as a traversey descent. </p> <p>Phil and Lucy are super cool and can point you in the right direction. On day 2, I'd consider doing an offroad climb over the Grand St Bernard Pass as a possible option. Ridden it as a descent but it would make for a pretty good climb.</p> <p>I'd also consider a traverse of the mountains to the south of verbier. I've ridden in both directions several times and there are some cracking options. Ideally, you want to be climbing on fireroads and traversing and descending on the narrower stuff. A lot of the footpaths up would be nothing more than a humff with the bike on your back.</p> <p>Be prepared for carrying at points!</p> <p>Day 4 looks pretty full on! </p>
