A week in Verbier, photo's.

Best holiday ever. Already booked for next year. Trails are a lot more gnarly than the pics show. Could of done with a trails bike at times! 30 minute descents. Brilliant weather. A fridge stocked with beer. Cakes when we arrived back at the chalet. Excellant food. Most probaly 100's of miles of trails. Great guides.etc etc etc

I want that Cove

Some great shots - particularly the black and white arty ones and the scree field.

Wanna go there!!

Awesome shots

Making me very jealous and whishing i was somewhere cool with great trails. Whistler seems like such a distant memory now...

Fantastic stuff, great photo's, we were in Les Gets last week ,a mate come over from Verbier said it was gnarlier. Think he'd been guiding for Bike verbier . How did you rate um as a company ?

Ps how bad are your holiday blues?

The whole Bike Verbier holiday set up was fantastic. Reccomend them 100% Lucy and Phil the guides /owners are great company. Enjoyed Morzine last year unguided, pretty sure there are loads more trails in Verbier, not as busy in the town but we chilled on the chalet balcony most nights with beer from the fridge. 12 people stayed our week 10 have already booked for next year. Couldnt stop to take pictures of the gnarleir stuff but believe me we all s**t ourselves enough times. Certain death if you went over the edge! Lots of low speed get offs too on the technical stuff. Cone they have a guide Rob, out of action at the moment with a bust coller bone did you meet him? Yep have the holiday blues real bad as all the other guys too.


This is a trail called Vertigo. Scary stuff.

Sounds awsome, can't wait to return. LOL vertigo was mentioned ! Mates name is James Richards , sort of freelance , bit here nd there stuff . Called over to meet us while his girlfriend was racing at Crankworx thingy in Canada.

I am very very jealous of those shots and I am now itching to get out on my GT STS (retro ) and hit the local trails!!


Although to be fair, my local trails are a tad tame compared to the ones in your shots!! Can't blame you for having booked next years trip already.

We're going to Morzine in three weeks. Will endeavour to take some photo's too.

Looks awesome at Verb too. Some great shots there. I too what the Hustler. Perhaps I'll bust my Stiffee at Morzine and need to replace it?

How nervous were you in the cable car with that luuuuurvely Cove swinging about in the breeze? I'd have made my mate cling to the outside, and took the bike inside where it was safe

Great photos.

Any chance of a higher res version of this one please?

Great pics Graham, almost makes me want to get an MTB

[g_stacey]

Only met the the Cove rider year. Good kit on it. Had a nice set of Easton wheels on.
Fixedwheelnut' good to read your (painful) report on the Mesey 24, dont get to the Two Doves often and I not sure I can make the club BBQ either. What about a single speed mountain bike!!!

"Ha, it would have to be".

Actually I have a rusty old trek in the shed last used on an off road weekend tour to Arundell three years ago
