Mrs FLATLANDER and I are trying out the Beaufortain area of France later this month, and are looking for some route suggestions. We prefer natural trails rather than bike parks, and are wheels on the ground type. We don't mind a bit of hike-a-bike if the trails and views are worth the effort. Searching videos I like the look of the Cretes des Gittes but the Mrs isn't so keen on the exposure 🙂
Stevo guided us to Beaufort about six weeks ago. He might share some details if you ask him nicely.
try my strava profile 5 and 6th of july 2014 https://www.strava.com/athletes/992923#interval?interval=201407&interval_type=month&chart_type=miles&year_offset=4 multiple tracks all from enduro beaufortain.
Its enduro but not hardcore all rideable with the occasional dab and it mostly gets difficult if you go flat out, nothing to scary at reasonable speed(I didn't do the black descent). I did it all on my fatbike back then.
There used to be a long route from one of these moutains all the way down to beaufort and a bus(with bike spaces) back up twice a day. Never did that one but apparently its a great ride aswell.
Thanks for the link, I'll give that a good look over the next few days.
The 2 enduro trails from above beaufort to albertville are both great if you can make the bus logistics work
Buses are easy from Beaufort up to Les Saisies. The Enduro course to Albertville is mint, with some really steep techy climbs and fast woodland Singletrack.
In fact check here:

Just wanted to say thanks for all the assistance. We had a great time - lovely area, great up lift bus, yummy cheese and not too many Brits. Definitely deserves another trip.
