:: 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.
:: Technical levels ::
We use a scale with "mountain levels"
aimed for trail/am/en mountainbiking.
mountain level 1
You have experience in hilly terrain.
You know how to shift gears and to control braking. You master your bike and speed on flow single trail. You start riding small obstacles, like small root and stone sections, but you often meet your technical limits.
You're looking forward to improve your skills
with the tips & tricks of the guide/coach.
mountain level 3
You love technical trails
and have experience in the Alps.
You're completely in control on all sorts of single tracks: dry and wet, up and down. You ride technical steep terrain with small stone drops, long root sections and switchbacks.
You ride medium drops (60cm)
and try riding small jumps.
mountain level 2
You're a mountainbiker
with experience on all sorts of trails.
You master your bike on moderate steep singletrack descents and climbs with loose stones and roots.
You can ride sudden small drops (35cm) and rocky sections.
You know your limits and walk a section
when you think it's to difficult.
mountain level 4
You're a bike-a-holic
and go for a yearly ride in the Alps.
You master your bike in all situations and ride technical demanding terrain.
You have experience riding bikepark or trail centers: double black trails, jumps, drops... it's all fine. You ride the fastest or most fun line, instead of the easiest.
:: Fitness ::
The daily positive height difference gives you a good idea.

for consecutive days.

level 3 - training

for consecutive days. You can climb for long periods and changes in rythm are ok.

level 2 - some training
You're general sporty
and ride your bike on a weekly base
You ride comfortably 4-6h ate moderate pace
for consecutive days.
