New Alpine 160. I'm in the privileged position of being employed as a guide out here in the Swiss Alps for the next 4 months. 😉 This morning, my day off, we did 4,200 vertical meters of descent by mid-day.

So see if you were an XC jeyboy riding a Tallboy with a penchant for long days of nice XC riding, technical bits permitted of course but nothing too vertical or 'north shore' and you had a vehicle and 6 weeks spare after landing in Geneva - where should I go ? I like to ride up hills, lots of them.

You know that could well be an option - 2 differing skill levels between my wife and I so this sort of thing might actually be a great idea ! Thanks. So BV are good yes ...
