I'm off again to the Alps this year, Austria this time, and I want to buy a guidebook that will show me what are the best options for singletrack outside the bikeparks.
I have heard rumours that there is a big focus towards cross country but I'd be more of an Enduro guy (26" All Mountain more accurately). Last time I was passing through Austria the local tourist info told me i could ride the walkers paths if i was polite and respectful and the one day we had was ace.
When I was in Briancon in the french alps I bought this sweet little guidebook from the bikeshop and it was perfect. Had all the info a biker needed, locations, height gain, trail quality and loads of other stuff.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a guidebook of some kind or map so I don't waste any time faffing around on walkers trails with loads of steps/sketchy bits.
