I doubt if it’s as good as whistler but there is no bears and he likes the attention he gets from the locals 🙂
If you are coming from the western side of France, I would also recommend a day at ax les thermes on the way in to Andorra. Pretty good little park with a more enduro feel to it. For xc, the area round font romeau and les angles is pretty good (marked trails as well as uplifted stuff). Leave Andorra towards Spain and head for puigcerda.
The track for the Andorra wc should be mega. The terrain they intend to use is steep, rooty and rocky. Really looking forward to seeing what they have come up with.
