You won't regret it
Bike Verbier.
If they're not already full.
second bikevillage - sam and lyndsey are lovely, the riding is amazing. Although Sam can find anything ot suit his guests, the best amd majority of the stuff is very technical, steep, tight switchbacks type xc stuff. Oh and sam has a policy of making his guests work for the height gain.

2nd AQR. Not only fantastic trails, but fantastic food too...
2nd Verbier
As a resort sieracycling are at the end of the Costas in Feungerolaresort/tour
Basque cycling and Riviera in Italy look good so hope to get there before I retire from mtbing 😉
Being twice. Excellent both times. You stay in a lovely mountain side village with great food.
Mike has a policy of NOT making you work for height gain. Which is just as well given how much you descend in a day.
Another vote for Bike Verbier - brilliant holidays in every respect.
I've used MBMB in the past. Not been with them for a few years, but they supplied a very good holiday. They are based in Chamonix. I really enjoy the riding round there. Lots of lovely technical single track and definitely XC rather than DH.

Cheers! Will check out some of your recommendations.

Tracey, when are you going over to Verbier this summer??
Be great to meet up with you and your family again!
I'm just about to send an email off to Lucy and Phil to get myself sorted, and I shall be visiting my LBS to order a suitable bike upgrade 😀
