guide in Bourg St Maurice

Speak to Cool Bus, they may be able to hook you up?

Another good place to ask is the bar at the bottom of the funicular - in the next hour or so is when it’s busiest.

Or just go up to Les Arcs and be chatty with the locals and ask if they can show you around. I’ve generally found it to be very friendly.

We have just left after a week there as our last leg of our Alps trip

We didn't use a guide as we found enough on trailforks and Cartes ING and chatting to the locals to fill our days

I did notice that Gravity Lab  have all day Enduro tours but didn't look into what it entailed

The White Room may have some contacts

Yes, speak to White Room.  Really friendly and knowledgeable guys.  Are you looking for a guide to take you on natural trails away from the bike park? The bike park  is massive,  with so many options from the funicular/chair lifts, and comprises loads of natural/non bike parky trails.

If you send me a dm, I can send you a strava file of a white room guided day I did a few weeks ago in the bike park.  All from the chair lifts.

Thanks all, bike park is OK, but looking for more natural stuff that i can access from chairs or without a 1000m pedal up.

Give Emily Horrige a call @the inside line.

Cool Bus could be helpful too

@ganic there is loads of natural stuff in Les Arcs bike park. Or you can just lap Black 8 and have an awesome day too. ?

Emily is a good call too, she’s always been super friendly and helpful when I’ve bumped into her.

Yeah, there's really good "non bike parky" stuff within the park but it's not that easy to join up, even with a guide it tends to be pretty inefficient- going up a lift and down a fireroad or crap trail to get to another lift and suchlike, and it's not that esay to get the exact right combos or pick the right identical lookinf fireroads and streets. Actually doing it well is pretty hard if you want to get right across the hill so if I'm doing it myself I've always just thought smaller and gone for simplicity and less wasted time at the cost of a little less variety.

If a guide falls through, with one day I'd happily just bang out a few laps of black 8 etc and the stuff under cachette tbh, it doesn't have that grey bikepark feel that the stuff up top does. Double Header etc are pretty easy to pick up from there too. Getting over to woodstock etc at the vallandry lift isn't hard though I have to admit I can't actually remember the smart way to do it now, is transarc shut? Getting back you can drop out of the park on dre dans d'pentu or similar and come in along the road.

Rock’n’Arrole is good, so is Elle Chablatte too.

I can highly recommend Sam @ Bike Village.
