A first look at part of the new mountain bike trail in Les Houches

By Ellie Mahoney, Updated

Andy from Bluebird Chalets made this little edit of part of the new Mountain bike trail under construction in Les Houches. It starts from near where the Kandahar chair lift crosses over the green run coming down from the Prarion gondola.

Clearly there was a lot of pushing up hill to get to the trail for just a little bit of down!

Hopefully the bottom of the trail will be finished in time for the lifts opening on the 15th June, although it appears there's still quite a lot of work to be done...

Watch this space for more updates from Andy, and if you've got any videos you want to share, send them in to us.
