How fit do I need to be?

The regular Verbier MTB guided adventure, which takes place on July 9th-15th, 2023, is suitable for intermediate riders. This means that you’re good to go if you’ve just started trail mountain riding but have never tested your skills in high-altitude mountains. You should be able to handle all your local loops, control your speed, and do some hilly sections. Intermediate riders should have some experience with different riding locations and mid-level mountains and should be able to ride moderately steep singletrack descents and climbs with some loose rocks and roots, as well as be comfortable with some small unexpected steps and rock gardens. The advanced Verbier MTB week-long adventure, taking place on September 3rd – 9th and 17th – 23rd, 2023, is suitable for those who love technical sections and have experience in alpine terrain. You should be in full control while riding any kind of singletrack, red runs in the bike park, and technical steep trails with stone drops, rough roots, small drops, and occasional little jumps. The long-weekend MTB getaway is suitable for both intermediate and advanced riders. Keep in mind that your guide will follow you every step of the way and give appropriate instruction, adjust the pace/terrain when necessary and make breaks whenever riding becomes too strenuous.

What if I’ve never mountain biked before?

Extensive riding experience is necessary for both the regular and the advanced adventure option. That said, no biking experience in alpine terrain is necessary for the intermediate tour. You should be comfortable with pedaling for around 3 hours a day and crossing up to 30 km (around 20 miles), with an elevation gain of around 600 m (1,970 ft). For the advanced tour, MTB experience in alpine terrain is necessary. You should be able to ride for 6+ hours in challenging terrain, crossing over 50 km (31 miles), with an elevation gain of 1,600 m (5,250 ft). Keep in mind that you will receive extensive instruction and that your guide will find a balance between “pure” riding and daily skills training. Also, the pace and the terrain can be adjusted if you encounter any difficulties. For the long-weekend getaway, MTB experience is also necessary, but both intermediate and advanced riders are more than welcome.

What do I need to bring?

Here’s what you’ll need: Comfortable riding or athletic clothing, preferably moisture wicking or synthetic material Sneakers or sport shoes Breathable outside layer or jacket Sunglasses Water bottle or hydration bladder Biking gloves are optional but recommended Regular mountain bike helmet Full-face helmet (for the advanced adventure) Flexible knee and elbow pads — can be rented from your guide (required only for the advanced adventure) Toiletries (sunscreen, hand sanitizer, bug spray, toilet paper, etc.) Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in.

Life in the Swiss MTB Chalet

Your home for the week is a spacious chalet with spectacular views just outside the village of Versegeres in the Verbier Valley. Here you can enjoy double rooms with en suite bathrooms (single-room option available for an additional fee), two communal living/dining rooms, and a south-facing terrace.
The best thing about this chalet is its location in a quiet area with sprawling views of the Alps! Imagine soaking in the sunshine while enjoying your coffee or taking some rest after a hard day of riding, the sun setting behind the lofty peaks. Another great thing is how spacious the chalet is, meaning that you will always be able to find a quiet place for some alone time. All this peace and quiet doesn’t mean that you will be isolated though! Just a few minutes away you can find bars, restaurants and a supermarket—as well as a refreshing lake if you’re up for some more riding or hiking.
All meals are included in the price and you will definitely not stay hungry during the trip! For breakfast, you can expect homemade cereal, fresh bread, local Swiss cheese, yogurt, milk, coffee, tea, juices, eggs, nuts, and fruit. Lunches consisting of healthy and freshly made sandwiches and various bars will be packed every day and eaten in the field. However, dinner reigns supreme when it comes to this Verbier MTB camp—three courses every evening prepared by a private chef (including quality locally-sourced wines!) If you are a vegan or a vegetarian, or have any dietary restrictions, let your guide know in advance and they will find the best solution to accommodate your needs.
