> Last day of the La Tania Gondola today. So downhill mountain bikers had to make the effort for one last ride. La Tania lifts re-open Sat 11th December, with Courchevel 1850 the week before and Val Thorens hopefully a couple of weeks before that! Ski Lodge closes for Summer on Friday night with Bring Your Sisters playing live and all the usual antics – they’ll be back open at the end of November…

VTT Report 26 August 2010

Posted on Thu 26 Aug 2010 at 5:19pm

Last big day mountain biking for La Tania locals with the usual repairs en route, we were even visited by a real bicycle repair man (without blue overalls although wearing blue jersey). Glorious weather and the tracks were in perfect condition. La Tania bubble up, across to 1850 via “Nicks new track”, up Verdons and Vizelle, down single tracks including the incredible specially made VTT route (like a bob sleigh run) to St Martin 2 chair, up chair, back down the same route, up chair again, down to Motterat, up Pas de Lac to mid station and back to La Tania gondola via ball-trap for a final ride up the bubble and back home. Joey and Nick (plus John S, John M, Phil S, Stuart C)
