Last week we met with Commencal at their Andorra HQ for the first time since Covid prevented us operating during 2020-21. It was great to sit down with Max and his colleagues and finally get back on track! We have had a lot of hire enquiries recently – so we travelled out to Andorra to meet up with our favourite bike creators, and long term partners – Commencal. We first had support from Commencal back in 2013, and we have worked with them almost non-stop ever since – they have been huge supporters and sponsors to us. The partnership makes huge ...

We are seeing a huge increase in bookings this week! After 2 years of understandable consumer worries about travelling, it seems that, this week, people have finally decided that 2022 IS the year to get back to normality – and as a result our bookings this week have really exploded…in fact in the past few days we have had more bookings than in the whole of the last 12 months added together! We still have plenty of space available in most months – although June and September are now looking very busy – but July and August still have good ... Read More

20th September 2021 Covid-19News

A couple of days ago we finally had the news we have been waiting for all year – travel is returning to a much more accessible and normal system from next month! We predicted months ago that the UK government would block easy travel until the end of September – and we were right – but the good news is that for your 2022 trip you can expect international travel to be much SIMPLER, much CHEAPER and much more SECURE for the first time since covid appeared. We have immediately seen a significant upswing in enquiries and bookings – so the time ... Read More

18th August 2021 Covid-19News

In some very POSITIVE news, we have today uploaded our DATES FOR 2022 to our website – and over the coming days we will also ensure that the availability is accurate once we incorporate all of our deferred guests! We expect that the current muddiness of the International Travel situation will be resolved once the 2021 summer season ends (we in the industry suspect the current situation is being engineered to dissuade UK travellers to leave the UK) – and with our now world-leading vaccincation rates we expect travel to be allowed to return towards ...

21st June 2021 BlogCovid-19News

We sadly continue to see the impacts of Covid-19 on summer 2021, and following recent delays, announcements and consumer confidence falling within the travel industry we have been communicating once again with our booked guests regarding their plans and thoughts. Unfortunately the continuing difficulties, and lack of clear governmental communication regarding international travel have been having a significant effect on people’s confidence and willingness to travel. Currently many European governments state that travel must be for essential travel only ... Read More

As the situation regarding European International Travel continues to evolve, and messages are starting to get clearer we are answering some of your COVID travel questions! Q> What do we think about the UK Government Travel Ban until June? A – It is arguably not actually as bleak as it looks – the “Travel Ban” is really an administrative measure, which the government have already described as being a way to ease legislative decisions. In other words, June is the date they have chosen initially – but once the review is undertaken in mid April ... Read More

15th January 2021 Covid-19News

We are fortunate to ride with guests from all over the planet every year – and whilst many are from the UK, we also have a large percentage of bookings from all over the World. Whilst we are gradually heading into a brighter future of vaccination and eventual suppression of the virus, various countries and regions are at different stages. As a result, we now need to take an adaptive approach to ensure that our guests have clear options in the event of Covid-related travel difficulties. We have a very strong code of ethics as a company, which we try to reflect ... Read More

11th December 2020 News

We have all been riding through a terrible storm in recent times – but now get ready for the holiday BOOM as predictions suggest that there is going to be the biggest surge in bookings EVER. And remember, we are a British-registered company, and Andorra is a non-EU country, so we are as BREXIT-PROOF as you could possibly hope for! This all means you *really* want to get booked in early! We are celebrating our first decade by making things bigger and better than ever for you!  We have now introduced even more NEW TRAILS, more UPLIFTS and more DESCENDING than ... Read More
