Are MTB meccas. I personally haven't been riding there (I went to Spain instead ) but I know several friends who have and it caters for all sorts of abilities. There is everything from good cross country trails, to World Cup downhill courses and full on bike parks if you like getting airborne. If you go in the main summer season then the lifts will be running and you can use them to take the sting out of climbing as they have bike carriers fitted. The only point of note I would make is that even the easy trails seem to be steep, not necessarily technical but even fireroads can be steep so any bike you have will need good brakes! Any descents also tend to be pretty long.

The town is fully set up for bikers in the summer and bars and stuff are all open. There are bike hire/repair shops but it is probably worth trying to arrange something before you go if you go down this route, particularly if you are not average size. Everyone I know has taken their own bikes to be honest. It is a magnet for Brits in the summer, you may or may not like that!

As a start point to what the riding is like have a look here, my friends have all been out with Endless Ride, there are lots of other companies/guiding available too.
