What sort of stuff are you into?
DH/Trails/Singletrak/Lift Repeat/back country?
What sort of place?
Bars/clubs/quiet?

My guided experience was with White room and it ticked all the boxes and there seem to be a lot of happy customers on here for them too. Sweet singletrack in a big variety of places. They are very popular so you need to book early.

White room are all but full for the main uplift season, though they do backcountry weeks too (I haven't done one of these). Trailaddiction and Bikevillage are in the same area, though with different packages. It really depends what you want, for me your classic downhill holiday would be great for a day or two then I'd spend the rest of the week in hospital ๐Ÿ˜† So the trail/enduro type holidays are perfect and White Room nailed that ridiculously well.

Bit more inclusive too, you don't need a massive bike or a full face or mad skillz or balls the size of watermelons. (though, all these things are still usable)

Having been with TA and White room, I'd say the trails with The White Room are nicer, better thought out itinerary, better knowledge of trails etc.

TA was good, just felt White room was better, slicker. Their cake is superb too.

Depends when you are going. July and August definately the Alps. The rest of the year Spain is the destination of choice.

Alps can be great into September, some mates just came back from Morocco which looked awesome. I wonder if alan-sierracycling runs a business in spain ๐Ÿ˜‰

All looking good, was looking at a company last night that seem to have it nailed, was looking at Andorra, singletrack safari I thing they were called? Anyone been with these? They also do holidays in Wales, alps, and a few bike parks abroad?
