Dirt Magazine Review February 2009 – Read the full article
Professional Mountain Biker Rowan Sorrell came out to visit in 2008. Here is what he had to say in his subsequent article in Dirt Magazine. We think he enjoyed himself…
“This is true all-mountain riding, most descents can be accessed straight from the lift, some require a little climbing or hiking, but you are then left with big epic descents of sublime singletrack with some pretty technical stretches thrown in for good measure.”
“We found some fun lines around some World War II bunkers on the way to the Poundstretcher trail, aptly named as you get great value. This sums up the best runs out here; old paths that countour the hills so your always descending slightly, most are fairly technical but you get a hell of a lot of trail from the vertical drop. Pretty much every day you arrive back to base whacked from a solid days riding and looking forward to hitting the pillow rather than the bar!”
“Another standout trail which we enjoyed so much was La Varda. Flowing and fast smooth singletrack in places, exposed steep trail in others, and nothing short of trials in the final rock switchbacks. It calls on all of your riding skills to clean this one without any crashes or dabs.”
“Some of the best resort-based all-mountain riding to be found in the Alps.”
“trailAddiction is located in the lovely village of Peisey Nancroix, with a great traditional feel. The chalet we stayed in was beautiful with all the mod-cons needed to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.”

“This is alpine singletrack at it\’s very best, riding simply doesn\’t get better than this.” – Ian Jones, UK
“For my sort of riding and bike (5″-6″ is perfect), this is soooo much better than Morzine/Les Gets. Last couple of years in PdS never improved my riding as much as this holiday did. trailAddiction are the only guys doing this sort of holiday in this great resort and they do a really good job. Gordy and Sophie made the best dinners I\’ve ever had in the Alps, summer or winter, full stop. Completely recommended.”- Graeme MacLean, UK
“THE 6 BEST DAYS I HAVE HAD ON MY BIKE EVER! The trails are pristine and natural. The scenery is magnificent and the guides were brilliant. This will definately be an annual pilgrimmage for me.” – Kayn Woolmer, South Africa
“The guides went out of their way to understand the kind of riding we wanted to do and did a brilliant job of tailoring the holiday to suite. The ratio of guides to guests was outstanding and everyone was very laid back (without being unprofessional), it really felt like we were riding with friends rather than on a guided holiday. Brilliant trails, brilliant company, I can\’t recommend them highly enough! – Lee Sheldon
“After a while I couldn\’t remember what a particular descent was like, since the next seemed better! Guides are essential to get the most out of the area since there are so many tracks everywhere.” – Dave Wills, UK

“TrailAddiction bills its self as the ultimate alpine singletrack experience. There is no doubt in my mind about that. There is though an important word in there – ALPINE. This isnt the North downs, Quantocks, Lake District, Welsh or Scotish Singletrack. Its in a league all of its own. Imagine any of those places, take the fastest or steepest or trickiest most fun bit of trail, imagine it totally natural and BIGGER and I think your probably getting close to what trailAddiction would show you.” – Stephen Wills, UK
“This has been a first for me – a mountain bike experience which actually met all my expectations. You certainly have a number of unique selling points which puts trailAddiction in a very healthy position for the future. A true customer focus from staff who mirror your passion. Splendid quality right across the package – from transfers, to accommodation, food, the location/trails. THANKYOU!” – Pete Brown, UK
“The riding was top notch – having ridden in Morzine 3 years previously it was great to find somewhere new and also with top quality singletrack as yet unspoilt by excessive usage” – Ian Merity, UK
“Damn, these trails are good. If I\’d known I had to ride with a b*ner the whole time, I\’d have brought bigger shorts!” – Brent Carpenter, South Africa
