'5-STAR SINGLETRACK, 5-STAR SERVICE'
Strengths:
The trails are outstanding and plentiful, backed up by the guides' "back of hand" knowledge of the local area.

The chalet, chalet hosts and food are also exceptional...



Weaknesses:
None other than I wouldn't recommend the area for absolute beginners
Overall:
An outstanding value week of supreme alpine MTBing!

These guys have really done their homework... the Les Arcs area is a real gem with its hundreds of miles of "to die for" singletrack all serviced by lifts!

'A BEAUTIFUL, RELAXING LOCATION WITH GREAT NATURAL TERRAIN'
Strengths:
Loads of uncrowded and varied "natural" trails and a little manmade DH stuff too.
Loads of lift access/road shuttle options.
Beautiful chalet in a great location.
Guides who really know the area and can take you to the best riding.
Great food, great bar down the road.

Weaknesses:
Not ideal if you just want pure Portes-du-soleil DH-racecourse style stuff (though there is one race-style run from the lifts and will presumably be more next season).
Overall:
The is was the first guided bike holiday I've been on so I'm comparing these guys to previous DIY trips to Luchon (French Pyrenees), Morzine/Les Gets/Chatel etc. and the riding around Vancouver and Vancouver Island... which is where I now live.
To me the TrailAddiction riding has the best combination of the Luchon-style (natural singletrack) and Morzine-style (DH) trails and made for a great all-round trip. I took my DH bike which was a blast, but I could imagine having a great time there on my hardtail or any other bike too. It's a great location and a real alternative to Morzine etc. if you want something more relaxed and uncrowded with a huge variety of riding.

'THE BEST SINGLETRACK AROUND... ENOUGH SAID'
Strengths:
Un-crowded efficient lift system.

Enough quality single track to keep any standard of rider occupied.

Great staff and guides - all up for a laugh.

Backcountry riding and scenery that is truly out of this word - impossible to describe just how good some of these rides were.

All at a great price too.
Weaknesses:
Lack of hardcore custom built downhill tracks - but to be honest, thats not what trailAddiction is about
Overall:
Had an amazing holiday, the day we left it had already being decided we were going back the following year.

Would recommend to anyone, of any standard of riding, from complete beginners to experts.

Accommodation is spot on, with friendly chalet hosts and all meals provided.
