The French Alps is a firm favourite mtb destination with British riders, with Portes Du Soleil the top choice for very good reasons. There are so many fantastic trails from XC to Downhill, the scenery amazing, friendly locals, great bike shops and attitude to cyclists, chairlifts to make the going easier and enable great distances to be travelled, as well as cheese'tastic meals. We'd still recommend to newbies that they arrange a guided holiday, but after that, this guidebook will enable you to explore the area with confidence and insight to the best trails. There is no doubt that you will have a holiday of a lifetime and like so many others, spend the rest of the year dreaming about next year's trip.
