Any one know of any good websites for trail centers around Europe?

Planning a European tour next year, although not specifically for biking, my bike will be coming along so don't want to miss out if we are nearby...

Looking at France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, etc.

Thanks

Jimbo.

In the (French/Swiss) Alps, they don't have trail centres as such: they have whole sodding resorts.

The riding is also 100x better/faster/steeper/tech/longer than UK trail centres.

Portes du soleil....best MTB location in the world.

Just make sure you go when the ski lifts are open!

Most of the alpine resorts are gravity based but if you put the effort in and do your research it can be well worth it.

Visited the allos this year and that had a great mix of list assisted and xc loop trails. I hear Tyrol, verbier are great but you may need a guide.

Check bikemagic for some guides.

If you drive out make the most of it and move around.
