OUR DEFAULT: WALKABLE VILLAGE / PARK ACCESS

A first Bike Park trip usually should minimize daily transport. Staying near the relevant lift/base, rental return and village services is worth paying for when the trip is park-led.

Default/practical → walkable lift-access property with bike storage and gear practicality.

Premium/recovery → spa/pool/property experience for riders travelling with family/non-riders or valuing recovery.

Value → slightly less central only if bike transport to/from the park remains simple.

VERIFY

Bike storage/room policy; wash; gear drying; repair access; lift/base proximity; current bike-room capacity; parking if bringing a personal bike.
