Val D'Sir - France

The Team Trampa Tour continues deep into the French Alps.

We have been on the road for a little over a week, and have now reached Val D'sir in France. The drive into Val D'sir was probably the most scenic drive of my life. The very windey mountain pass roads, beautiful Mountains, patches of snow beside the road (depsite the fact that it is summer and around 25 degrees).
The team was lucky enough to stay in an appartment right in the center of the town centre offering us a great base to go out and explore what was rideable within this area. Immediately we explored the streets, and found some great roads to bomb.

During our stay we also explored a BMX/Skatepark facility which was loads of fun, and with the scenic background provided us the perfect canvas for some spectacular pictures and footage.


On our last day we spent 6 euro on a one way lift pass to the top of one of the piests, to tackle on a roughly planned out blue grade ski run. The run took us around 2 hours to complete with an awesome final section of mountainbike trails and mowed grass in amongst bull paddocks.
