Overview
Imagine a beautiful chalet-style mountain camp surrounded by lofty peaks that hold an unparalleled mountain bike trail network. Our routes have been featured 3 months straight in Mountain Bike magazine and attract riders all the way from Europe. Come enjoy the camp and learn all the skills necessary to unlock the full potential of your mountain bike.

Our instructors are experienced cyclists that provide technical instruction to riders of all abilities in a supervised atmosphere that encourages learning in addition to athletic development. They will lead you all week with their thorough knowledge of the trail network. Each instructor carries emergency communication and first aid equipment plus is trained in emergency procedures.

The first day of instruction concentrates on safe skill development on our Base obstacle course and beginner level trails. The next 4 days we offer a range of challenges and adventures. Riders can choose gentle scenic routes or challenging single-track descents.

Mountain biking is fun and very similar to skiing in that you ride at your own pace in beautiful terrain and even more fun to ride with good technique. You will learn to ride smoothly, shifting properly while reading the terrain and adopting a responsive position on the bike. We do not teach air jumps or trick riding.

Each day’s activity will begin with a hearty breakfast in our lodge dining hall followed by teaching and practicing new skills such as controlled turning on varied surfaces, ascending and descending, positioning and negotiating obstacles. Then it’s a van ride to the top of the day’s descent to put your newly acquired skills to good use. During the descent you will enjoy a pleasant lunch and equipment check. At the end of the ride you will be back in camp for a shower and scrumptious dinner. After dinner you’ll have free time to ask our instructors about the next days ride, enjoy some rider videos with snacks and share the days experiences with your partners. A good night’s rest comes from our comfortable cabin bunks.

If you can comfortably complete a 40-mile road ride you should be able to fully enjoy this trek.

Note: This trek requires good leg and lung capacity. Suggested physical training before the trek: Cardio-vascular exercise such as hiking with a loaded pack, biking, running and weight training.
