MTB Skills*

In a small group, your bike skills will be polished in a short technique course. You will receive valuable input from a Swiss Cycling Guide to improve your balance, overcome obstacles or hone your technique for tight turns or hairpin bends and much more. No matter whether you ride a bike or an e-bike.

The programme includes various offers for every level and with different focuses.

In addition to the popular riding technique courses at both Basic and Advanced levels, we also offer specific courses for women only or especially for e-bikers. There are also two courses that focus specifically on cornering technique. Learn how to ride the different curves correctly or if you already have a lot of bike experience and have wanted to learn how to ride the tight switch-backs for a long time, then book the hairpin course and learn how to move the rear wheel.

BIKE SERVICE (CARE & REPAIR)**

Here's a combined crash course in bike maintenance and care. Get tips from the pros and have your questions answered, which you can easily implement at home and on the road and give your bike a little love - so you can have fun on the trails for longer. Our mech will also be happy to answer your specific questions on this topic.

* A bike and appropriate protective equipment (at least a helmet) are a prerequisite for this workshop. If you don't have your own equipment with you, please visit our Bike-Expo beforehand and borrow an (e-)bike from our test fleet.

** You do not necessarily need to bring your bike or bike equipment for these workshops. You can also take part in normal leisure wear. However, if you are travelling with your bike, you can of course bring it along – maybe you can "practice" something on it right away.
