Just had an incredible 10 days with Bike Verbier, riding easily some of the best trails I've done anywhere, including Spain and all over BC. New for this season are some mind-blowing backcountry trails well away from the resort, sometimes accessed by van and local gondolas, with no other riders or walkers around. Done countless miles of natural, flowing singletrack, tons of superb natural tech stuff, colour-coded DH tracks (official and cheeky) and all-day epics. Basically whatever we wanted to do, BV had a ride to suit, splitting the group when it was appropriate. Hosting, guiding, grub, accommodation etc were all top notch too. Even the weather was spot on. Can't recommend these holidays highly enough. Cheers Phil & Lucy. Roll on next year.

Top hosts, top trails and just all round great place.

Didn't bother. I've taken them before and they never do the riding or scenery justice. Plus I don't like stopping to take shots, and my pack's already full enough on big days out. Singlespeedstu has some good video somewhere on this forum though - he was out at the same time.

Phils jokes are terrible though.

Only been abroad with the bike once and it was with BV. Wouldn't really consider going anywhere else when/if I go again. Seemed to offer everything I could have wished for.

Agreed. I spoke to other guests who've used different companies in various resorts, and the general consensus was that Bike Verbier are definitely a significant cut above in terms of trails, quality and professionalism.

everything is just setup superbly. it all just flows together seemlesly, from the moment they pick you up from the airport to the moment they drop you off. the chalet, the food, the riding - everything.Posted 10 months ago # -

Been with them every year since 2003, each year as the girls have grown, it has got better and better. Every year the rides, accomodation anh hospitality have been first class
Cant go this year due to my shoulder injury needing sorting and Katies back operation last week [she will be out of action for six months]
Looking forward to next years visit
