is there anywhere to go in the alps that you can spend a week totally lift assisted with no uphill cycling.
You could go to Morzine and go up the Pleney lift, ride down the DH course and repeat (just like the MBUK yoof crew seem to be doing last time i went)
Would be pretty boring though after a while....
Pila is pretty good for that,but not really for a week, tho almost all the riding spots will probly have some uphill, even if its from the chalet to the lift station, i like chamonix best for lift access riding, easily a weeks worth too, but you have a little bit of pedaling and pushing, so, doesnt really answer your question! Pants.
there's a lot more to morzine than the pleney, but i guild will help.
Base yourself in Chatel, ride the bikepark there,over to lindarets valley and do the runs down from Avoriaz,Morgins is just over the hill from Chatel 10 mins by car or minibus taxi,loads of marked dh and even more cheeky dh's hiding in the woods! Should be enough for a week.
The white room could do this for you. You might miss out on some aceness though if you don't at least push up some mtns. Fun!
les arcs would do - and it's nice trails, not just DH racetracks
I've been twice with trailaddiction and barely needed a chain (tiny bit of pedalling and that's mostly just to get you to the great bits). Some other companies like a bit more of an uphill, so check
I don't think you'd get value from it if you did it without a guide though, as lots of the good stuff's not that obvious and also it's only by guiding that you'll avoid the ups I think
i thought trailaddiction to be honest.
been to les arc and what bit i saw of it i really enjoyed.
thanks for the idea's people.

You could go to morzine and ride all over les gets, pleney, super morzine, avoriaz/linderets chatel and more , there is flipping miles of down hill tracks without a smidgen of uphill in site. And you defo don't need a guide. It's an enormous ski area, they have maps and signposts.
they have maps and signposts.
things have changed (for the better) since i was last there then. admittedly it was 2004.
i wonder if gas gas is on the maps?

I'm I think I have ridden this trail? Hmm dunno there are so many.
Re guides:if you insist on riding the off piste/only ridden by locals/secret trails then yeah get a guide, but I've been going to morzine for years and have a blast every time, never had a guide.
deux alpes, easily a weeks worth there, and you can take in alpe d'huez as well.
