Just spent a few days exploring St foy and les arcs and reckon they are both massively over rated. The uplift in St foy is really Micky mouse and the marked trails are ok but nothing special, the dh off the top cable car at les arcs is rubbish, the stuff down to vilandry is ok but again nothing special ( same goes for the 8 and the 7), the cachette is fun but not half as good as the runs in Deux alpes. I did find some good stuff from arcs 1800 towards seez but any French wooded hill side has similar riding. I really don’t understand what all the fuss is about, for enduro type riding the Vosges, the ubaye, the Val d’allos and the alpes maritime are all way better. For downhill, Deux alpes blows les arcs away ( as do quite a few other places) .
Which guide did you use…
Yeah it’s massively over rated – don’t go back 8)
You obviously found all the best bits so just leave it to us people that think it’s over rated. 🙂
