Teen Down Hill MTB camp in Morzine

Take your riding to another level, explore the Portes du Soleil area and learn to manage yourself in the mountains with 4 full days of coaching and more from our pro instructors.

4 epic days of riding around the Portes du Soleil to develop your skills and learn the essentials of safety, mechanics and being savvy on the trails.
Our camp’s are specially designed for 12 to 15 year olds, in small groups. And it’s not all jumps and berms (though there are plenty of those) there’s a session with a pro photographer, eyeryone takes home a goodie bag, there’s time for bike chat over lunch which is included and more.

BIKE

To improve your skills more easily, we recommend bringing your own bike! A good quality, well ,maintained downhill or modern “Enduro” bike with 6 inches travel front/rear, quality disc brakes and downhill or enduro casing tires, will help you get the most out of the camp.
We recognise it’s not always easy to bring your own bike though and can help you organise rental of an excellent bike from our buddies at FB Freeride.

Full face helmet, spine protection (back pack accepted), gloves and knee/elbow pads are mandatory.
Again, these can also be hired from FB Freeride.
