Hi! I´m new in pinkbike but i ride quit a lot of trails and cross country in Helsinki. We are going to Switzerland to ride downhill first time. Our plan is to go to Crans Montana. So i need same advice. We ain´t got bikes so we have to rent them. Where should we rent them? Crans Montana? if anyone know how much it cost it would be great cos´ we have flight next saturday. And all the other bikepark suggestions are very welcome too. And if something pops in your mind what should we know, please let me know. Verbier is out of question cos´we have been snowboarding there few times so new place would be nice.
I can only compare to Czech bikeparks and Winterberg, however, Leogang has a lot to offer imo. Freeride is fast and long, with multiple trails down the hill from jumps to rocks and roots, and the downhill is rather steep in some parts. Definitely the best one I've seen so far, I can't tell much more than their website does, but it's quite worth it spending some time there.
For a vast collection of trails, mostly around Switzerland, go to http://www.traildevils.ch/trails.php On the dropdown menu you can choose what type of trail you are looking for! cheers, chris
