    So, I have 9 days, a Motorhome and a Bike.

    Will obviously be driving so can you guys recommend me a good location. Done Morzine and the PDS to death so not there.

    Would like lift assist but not essential, more natural trails than bike parks as dont like berms and jumps. Trails easy to follow with GPX / trailforks etc.

    Was thinking of La Thuile and surrounding area ? All suggestions considered.

    Thanks all.

    You already mentioned La Thuile so that and then on down to Aosta/Pila?

    Nice big loop of Verbier, Pila, Aosta, La Thuile, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Beaufortain, La Clusaz, Portes du Mont Blanc, Chamonix. Assuming “summer” is between July and August when all of the above are open.
    Or further south through Alp d’Huez, Les 2Alps, La Grave, Serre Chevalier/Briancon, Montgenevre/Sestriere.
    Or stay as flexible as you can and chase the weather through Pyrennes/Med basin/Alps..
    Or not france, but I canny help much with that! Have fun wherever the van takes you

    We did the Tour De Combins together last September which will feature in issue 130 of the mag. We only scratched the surface………

    Hello Sanny (waves back)

    I think that scratching was the blankets in the refuge though….
