VTT Report 26 August 2010

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.

Latest La Tania Build Site Photo – all finished for December

Work on the new building keeps going at pace – rumours keep coming and going at what is to be there. There is NOT another swimming pool going in and not a Nightclub!

An emergency medical centre with ambulance access is planned (although not a pharmacy we hear) plus a local Police station, community room and hopefully a left luggage area. Workers accommodation is planned above apparently. No word yet on the plans for the new chalet complex next to Grand Bois and the drag lift – yet there must be some ‘cos they’ve moved land about over there and levelled off an area…. Planning? French? Mairee?

First snow/VTT Report

Creux was in excellent condition for mountain biking on Tuesday, the snow and mud didn’t stop us but the going was a little more slippery that usual in places. Joey and Nick www.nickskithreevalleys.co.uk
