    Where else in Europe would offer ski-lift uplifts and a variety of levels of trail from blue to black both DH and XC with the possibility of interesting off-piste routes, that would have similar variety to the Les Gets/Morzine area?

    I'm planning a trip to somewhere in Europe at the start of the summer next year, and I've been to Les Gets a few times and loved it, and I'm just looking for somewhere different with similar biking characteristics..

    This... Starting to do a lot more uplift stuff around Lake Garda if your bent on going somewhere exotic and sunny. If ya haven't been, Scotland is amazing and likewise are the 7 Stanes (have done Glentress, Inerleithen and Dalbeatie).

    Thanks for the feedback!

    I've done a little more research myself and I've found a lovely little website that has lots of useful information and it's all collated nicely.
    Surprisingly enough, it's called http://www.worldbikeparks.com/locator

    Looks as though Les Deux Alpes and Alpes d'Huez are the areas with the most variety closest together after the Les Gets / Morzine / Chatel region. I have to find out if the lift passes for Les Deux Alpes are valid in Alpes d'Huez given their proximity.
