MTB coaching for all levels… and all formats

Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced rider, our MTB lessons adapt to your profile and your goals. And here’s the good news: you can join a group session to enjoy the motivating energy of a crew, or opt for a private session for even more personalized coaching.

Private coaching is ideal for:

  • Overcoming a technical or mental block
  • Preparing for a specific race or event
  • Getting a program 100% tailored to your level and pace

Group sessions allow you to progress in a great atmosphere, get inspired by others, share advice, and keep each other motivated.

Concrete progress from the first session

Here are some of the key technical elements we regularly work on during our MTB coaching sessions:

  • Neutral position: knowing how to position yourself effectively to improve balance and control in every situation
  • Efficient braking: avoiding common mistakes (like braking too early, too hard, or mid-corner) and learning to slow down without panicking
  • Flat turns and berms: learning how to use your vision, body position, and momentum to carve with flow and confidence
  • Steps and drops: how to absorb or jump smoothly without getting launched or frozen
  • Terrain reading and anticipation: essential for riding faster and safer, especially in enduro settings

And the results speak for themselves:
👉 Théo, 12, who used to put a foot down on every switchback in Fully, now flows through them standing and with style.
👉 Sophie, who used to fear small drops, now handles them with confidence thanks to a solid position and excellent braking control.
👉 Julien, an amateur racer, shaved several minutes off his Maxiavalanche time in Villars after refining his posture and line choice.

Carefully chosen spots for real progress

Each coaching day is held at a legendary riding spot, perfectly suited to developing various aspects of your MTB technique:

  • Fully Bikepark: ideal for learning the basics and gaining confidence on modules and turns
  • Maxiavalanche in Villars: a varied terrain to work on speed, line choice, and focus
  • Verbier Bikepark: flow, technical sections, and rough terrain — the ultimate training ground for becoming a complete rider
