Starting to vaguely consider a trip to somewhere warm and mountainous like the Alps for a bike trip, but not quite sure what the deal is.
Am assuming it’s a bike version of skiing – lifts up, trails (or occasional off-track) back down. So some basic q’s: where to go, where to stay if there’s only a couple/four of us, what skill level needed? Are there large unavoidable jumps, or again is it like skiing – choose your routes and approaches to routes and anyone can do it. Any ideas of costs – accom/lift passes/eating in/out?
Bike – dedicated d/h bike better than Mojo (cheaper when I crash, better able to take the bigger hits, balances my lack of skill) or take the bike I’m more used to riding?
Fly, or train, or drive?
Views, experiences, trip reports, websites that answer this, blogs, etc. all welcome…..
