Thinking about heading there in the summer, has anyone been and what was the riding like? A group of us with mixed interests - XC whippets to downhill wannabes.

Experiences/stories welcome.

Snowboarded there and it's pretty nice, if expensive, in the winter. Don't know what it's like for bike trails.

Rode there years ago, didnt think much of it, but could have changed since then though.

i have been 3 times.
it is very good.
you have to actually cycle uphill too there.
the tracks are not hammered and eroded near the town.
you can put in some massive 50 k+ loops using chair lifts if you want.
it is very quiet in the summer, not full of you british dhers.

i like it.

Look at [url= http://www.pleisure.co.uk/summer.html ]pleisure[/url], I've stayed with them in the winter and it was great. Really good food, and a nice resort too.
