Just got turned round from 2 weeks of bliss in the Alps with Bike Verbier. I thought the old set up was good but the new one has risen the bar somewhat. We stayed in the new chalet which is based in Etiez. The accommodation is better, the food was first class but the main thing the new location has, is the access to even more exiting trails beyond the Verbier lifts. Did the St Bernards pass from the front and the back, the epic Brazilian [thanks to everyone who helped carry the girls bikes to the top] and numerous other new trails. Katie got to play on the downhills for her birthday at Crans Montana in the afternoonafter cleaning Gateway to Heaven for the first time in the morning.
The girls have ridden everything with no complaints, I'm such a proud mum.
We have been to Verbier for the last 7 years, enjoyed it every time, but this year has been by far the best. Booked for next year already.
Girls like it each year but this year they have rode their socks off. It was a hard two weeks with some big up hills and very long downhills but they just got on with it.
Katie always complains at home when she has to climb but she never complained over there.
was great to meet you all out there, and yes Lucy and Phil run an amazing place! was very impressed.
had a quick look through the pics, so happy there are non of me slowly picking my way down the mountains…
just got to plan my next trip now! 😀

If you want the best out of a trip to the Alps then its well worth the exra money to go with one of the good bike holiday companies on all inclusive. They will show you the best in the area for your standard of riding. With the cost of eating out in the Alps now a weeks allinclusive is good value for money
the Alps is brilliant, full stop! we did a week there about three/four weeks back and we're now planning an epic trip to go for two whole months next year! Already cant wait!! we'll be driving so will be able to drive around a bit to other areas near by.
Glad you had a great time and I hope if we are out there together again that you will have brushed up on your arm wrestling skills to rescue a damsel in distress. It will take a lot of guts and/or some bodyguards to get me in that bar again.
Mail me with your email address, we took over 400 pics and although we only did a couple of rides together I think they may be one ore two in there. Sarah will probably have some at the start of the Toboggan but shes not home till tomorrow
Hope to see you in the Peaks soon
