WEEKEND · ELECTRIC MTB · LES CROSETS
Two days to dare to ride, not to impress. Eight workshops, an exceptional training ground, and a mountain chalet to refuel.
THE CONCEPT
A format designed for those who really want to improve on their electric MTB. No timing, no jumps, no extreme enduro. Just the right techniques, calmly explained and applied on alpine trails chosen to build your confidence.
THE 8 WORKSHOPS
Eight modules to change the way you ride. Each workshop is short, focused and immediately applicable on the trails. Four categories for a complete progression.
Find the right posture, relax your shoulders, keep mobile and better distribute your body weight.
Understand front brake, rear brake, distances and modulation to stop fearing the descents.
Vision, line, weight transfer: the three keys to turning without tension on paths and alpine tracks.
Know when to use Eco, Trail or Turbo, manage the battery, and avoid jerky starts on climbs.
Anticipate rocks, ruts, grip changes and pick a clean line.
Spacing, pace, communication, breaks: so everyone finds their place and enjoys the ride.
Master Komoot and Trailforks, create your routes, read a topo map, use your GPS watch to ride independently.
Fix a flat, refit a chain, adjust brakes, inflate to the right pressures. The essential moves.
THE PROGRAMME · TWO DAYS
Three complementary moments: a Friday evening welcome to get acquainted and set the basics, and two full weekend days to experience the 8 workshops and apply them in the field.
TRAINING GROUND
The Portes du Soleil area offers 800 km of trails, from peaceful alpine tracks to more committed singletracks. For each session we choose routes matched to the group’s level.
No jumps, no extreme descents: just flowing trails, outstanding panoramas and photo stops at the prettiest spots. Genuine recreational riding, just the way we like it.
↳ Areas explored: Les Crosets alpine pastures, Champéry trails, Champoussin balconies and Avoriaz plateau.
VOTRE CAMP DE BASE
At 1,670 m altitude, right next to the trails. All rooms have a balcony, a private bathroom and views of the Dents du Midi.
The property has a secure bike room with workshop (water point, sockets, tools), a sauna to recover after sessions, and a refined kitchen based on Valaisan local produce.
The ideal companion for two days of fully immersive learning.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your most common questions. Can't find your answer? Contact us, we reply within 48 hours.
Recreational fitness is plenty. Electric MTBs considerably reduce the effort on climbs — that’s the whole point.
If you walk regularly, cycle a bit or do any moderate endurance activity, you’ll be perfectly comfortable across the two days. We always tailor the routes to the group.
Not at all. We work with trusted local rental partners offering recent, well-maintained electric MTBs (Specialized, Trek, Lapierre).
Just mention it in your request: we’ll suggest a rental matched to your size and level, at a preferential rate. Expect around CHF 70-90/day rental.
Sessions are organised on demand for small groups (4-6 people), which lets us tailor the format and therefore the price.
Indicatively, expect from CHF 490 per person in shared room (see the 3 options) for the all-inclusive weekend (accommodation, meals, instruction, Illiez Card, sauna). MTB rental not included.

Sessions run from mid-May to mid-October, when the alpine trails are rideable (outside snow-melt and the first autumn snows).
Weekends are preferred but we also run weekday sessions on demand (Tuesday-Wednesday for example), perfect for retiree groups or corporate events.
Minimum lead time: 3 weeks before the session to organise logistics.
Mountain weather can be unpredictable. Here’s how we handle it:
• Light rain: the session goes ahead (with a windbreaker and good clothing, it’s perfectly fine)
• Forecast thunderstorms: we adjust the schedule to use the weather windows
• Storm / dangerous conditions: we reschedule at no cost
The decision is made 48 hours before the session based on MeteoSwiss forecasts.
• Free cancellation up to 14 days before the session
• From 14 to 7 days before: 50% of the total amount
• Less than 7 days or no-show: 100%
If we cancel (extreme weather, instructor illness), full refund or rescheduling at the client’s choice.
We recommend taking out personal cancellation insurance.
Yes — all sessions are led by a state-qualified or Swiss Cycling certified instructor, specialised in MTB and electric MTB.
