What Mountain Bike Magazine Review December 2007 – Read Full Article
We challenged What Mountain Bike Magazine to come to Les Arcs and descend the height of everest in a day…
“The first big drop of the day – intended by Ash to get us off to a head start by banking 1743 vertical metres in a single hit – was tagged Double Header (for reasons that are probably best left obscured in the mist of trailAddiction lore). It is, by any standards, an epic of a technical woodland descent, dropping from the treeline to the valley floor by means of a seemingly endless sequence of steep, loamy, rocky and be-switchedbacked trails.”
“Most UK riders would be chuffed to descend all 1085 metres of Snowdon in a day. We’d done the equivalent of five times that already, which put us just over the halfway mark.”
“Secret Garden cuts an inches-wide swathe through almost untouched forest on a long-forgotten hiking trail. Vine-covered fallen trees and moss-covered rocks keep us on our toes.”
“You can ride some of the climbs if you want to, but with two vertical kilometres of prime singletrack on tap, frankly, why would you? We reckon you could ride every day for a week and not ride the same trail twice – it’s that good…..The whole lot’s topped off with comfortable accommodation, great food and a relaxed atmosphere.”

“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
