Alternatives to Les Gets for European MTB holiday?

Popoutman

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..

Les Deux Alpe, waay better than Les Gets and no ridiculous queues.

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).

Mt Verbier? I haven't been but it looks good. I've just moved full time to switzerland but too much on family-wise yet to explore any options here.

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.

Switzerland has them (i've had the pleasure of going on them) and the view is just beautiful !

What about Winterberg in Germany? looks good thinking of heading there next summer.
