I stayed a long weekend with Phil and Lucy of
bikeverbier.com and had an amazing time being guided around some awesome Swiss singletrack. It was all wildflowers, glaciers, snow-capped peaks, wildflowers, wildflowers and some more wildflowers.
Day 1: Col du Tronc and Martigny
 |
| On day one I thought this singletrack through a field of dandelions was impressive. Little did I know what was to come :) |
 |
| Lunch in a Roman ruin in Martigny |
 |
| Descent through a vineyard (really, through the middle of it). Never done that on a mountain bike before. |
 |
| Looking over Martigny |
Day 2: Val Ferret traverse, climb to Lac de Champex
 |
| Phil took this just before I hit that rock on the uphill section and put a foot down :( |
 |
| Cool rock sculpting by the glacier |
 |
| Lunch (and a coffee at the cafe) at Lac de Champex |
 |
| Did I say wildflowers already? |
Day 3: Verbier
 |
| Dropped off in the van by Lucy at 2140m, it was chilly! Watched a paraglider take off and then jumped on the bikes to warm up. |
 |
| Some pushing through a couple of snowy sections :) |
 |
| Looking at Mont Fort (3329 m), lost in the cloud |
 |
| Some more visibility would have been great, but getting 3 dry days in a row in May was amazing, so I'm not complaining. |
 |
| Today was a bit muddier... |
