:: The ride ::
xc, down-country, trail, allmountain, randuro, rally enduro, enduro, super enduro...
a true jungle!
This our take on the mtb disciplines:
:: trail - xc ::
"we go touring up & down"
For sportive/endurance bikers
who love climbing and descending,
who love a physical challenge
and who ride (medium) technical trails.
We prefer talking about "trail" and not "xc".
It's about having fun on the trails,
touring with friends in a relax ambiance.
The daily shuttle uplift allows us
to start a bit higher on the mountain.
:: allmountain - enduro ::
"am adventures & epic singletracks"
For bikers in search of natural trails
with technical challenges.
Frequent use of lifts and shuttles
to cover the most positive height meters.
We continue climbing on the bike to get
to those epic natural singletracks.
A section hike-a-bike can occur.
Some days can be physical challenging,
some days will have a negative profile.
:: gravity enduro ::
"having a blast on enduro specials"
For bikers searching for lots of vertical drop
and technical challenging terrain.
In short: the pure enduro riding!
Intensive use of lifts and/or uplift shuttles to maximise the downs. Some climbing can occur, just to get to the start of the specials.
The best bits of the bikepark will be included.
:: Riding levels ::
Depending where you live, you cannot compare mountainbiking in the Alps with your local trails.
There exist an overdose of level codes and everybody has his own interpretation.
Therefore it is important to clarify the levels of our trips.
We want to make a difference between fysical and technical level,
and therefore we use the Internationale Trail Rating System (ITRS).
The ITRS distinguishes 5 levels, from beginner till mtb professional.
It is likely that you will be between 2 levels, for instance you can score yourself as a intermediate+.
Our trips are organized with a certain level in mind, but the exact level stays very flexible.
Your guide knows all B-lines, as well the easier as more challenging, and will adapt the route during the trip.
He will also provide plenty of tips & tricks, so you can improve your riding during the trip.
Any question, doubts, remarks?
Let us know!
