Well me and three other lads will be heading down to Bourg st Maurice tomorrow night. Six days of riding Les Arcs, Pila, Alp D'Huez, La Thuile and Chamonix. To say i'm excited is a mild understatement*
Anyone else in the region next week?
*I've been packed since last Thursday......
Blimey - thats some trip in 6 days!

Check out Tignes and Val d'Isère, free lifts! And some great riding to be had.
It's a driving holiday by the sounds of it @neil 🙂 Have a great time and let us know how it works out, very useful to know for planning/dreaming.
I'm off to Destination X with Trail Addiction tomorrow and will fit in two days in Chamonix after and a sailing race on Lake Geneva before hand. Happy days.
Chamonix for me in 12 days 😛
Some great footage of Barel/bulldog from tignes/valdisere

anyone know which that ridgeline is? looks awesome
Kind of looks above Tignes/Grand Motte
@freeride, part of me wants to ask for your advice on Chamonix trails, that's the part that was very grateful for the Samoens directions. The other part remembers your suggestion of "just riding up the road" back to Joux Plane 🙂
I'll be mincing around 25th/26th ...
We leave Friday night and are back Sunday morning, so It's actually 7 days riding 🙂
jambalaya 😉
Can't beat a good epic!
If you liked that then the trient ride via the cross from le Tour is great. vallorcine lift back up. 30 mins pedalling....
Hughs way at les Houches also...
@freeride ... thanks Trient/cross I think you mentioned in the other thread.
Hugh's Way - I'm recalling chains and that E word 😥 let me check the book tonight.
No chains or exposure on hughs way -
pipeline (st gervais - le fayet) more exposure.
Ride up from St Gervais to Montfort for the singletrack descent to Les Plagnes, then you avoid pipeline 😉
