On our way home now from Les Arcs.
Thanks so much to all who helped. I passed on some Karma by giving the off piste map to a guy out there for 6 weeks.
3 days riding a mix of every waymarked trail and some off-piste, including La Varda – which was a great day out (still snow covered for the hike-a-bike up to the Lac du Moutons). I really liked the waymarked Enduro trails – Elle Chablette black run was my favourite. I would class myself as a competent rider, certainly no god, and the middle/end of La Varda was on my limit.
My stand-out observation of Les Arcs was quiet trails and very friendly riders. A world away from Morzine/Les Gets, although I’ve still enjoyed my riding there in the past too.
