Highlights

  • So viele Höhenmeter, wie du willst

    Zwischen 5'000 und 10'000m Abfahrt an einem Tag, für alle, die es richtig in den Beinen (und Armen) spüren wollen.

  • Geheime Trails im Unterwallis

    Entdecke wenig befahrene Singletrails, weit weg von den üblichen Wegen, in einer der trailreichsten Regionen der Schweiz.

  • Eine lockere Stimmung unter Ridern

    Wir fahren zusammen, ohne Druck und ohne Stoppuhr. Die perfekte Gelegenheit, andere Bike-Fans aus der Region zu treffen.

  • Fortschritt mit Spass

    Run für Run wird dein Fahrstil natürlich besser, durch Wiederholung und die wertvollen Tipps deines Guides.

  • Rundum-Betreuung von A bis Z

    Ein lokaler, Swiss-Cycling-zertifizierter Guide, mechanischer Support vor Ort, und Kaffee/Bier inklusive, damit du den Tag genießen kannst, ohne dich um irgendwas kümmern zu müssen.

  • 30 years of experience, including years of competition

    You learn with a coach who knows exactly what holds beginners back

  • Progress fast, without putting yourself at risk

    Proven methods to build real control in just one day

  • Exercises that grow with you, at your own pace

    You never skip a step, and you enjoy every bit of progress

  • Start off on the right foot

    The right reflexes and technique from your very first pedal stroke, so you don't have to unlearn bad habits later


  • MTB & E-Bike riding skills: Build a solid foundation, with confidence

    Dreaming of getting more out of your mountain bike, but not sure you've got "the level" for it? This day is made for you. No prior experience needed: we start from scratch, at your own pace, to give you the technical foundations that will transform your riding, and finally give you the confidence to enjoy every ride to the fullest.

    Why this day will change your riding:

    • You leave with solid reflexes, not just theory
    • You progress safely, guided by an experienced MTB coach who knows the typical sticking points for beginners
    • You gain the confidence to tackle terrain you used to avoid
    • You build the essential foundations before fully diving into the sport

    Morning: the fundamentals that make all the difference

    • Body position: the base of everything, often overlooked
    • Brake control: braking effectively without losing control
    • Wide and tight turns, with or without leaning into the bike: riding smoothly, not just "getting through"
    • Flow: anticipating instead of reacting
    • Clearing steps and ledges: no more freezing in front of obstacles, clear them with confidence

    Afternoon: 100% personalized coaching
    Each participant gets more individual attention. We pinpoint exactly what's still holding you back and work on that specifically, with tailored advice suited to your level, your build, and your goals. No generic program: your progress drives the content.

    By the end of the day, you won't just have learned techniques: you'll leave with a foundation to build on, so you can keep progressing safely and independently, whether on a classic mountain bike or an E-Bike.

    Enduro Maroc is top-notch, with impeccable organization, trails that are as challenging as they should be, and long, long, long descents in a magnificent setting. And for the foodies, the food is amazing.

    It doesn't feel like an organized tour, but more like you're on the trails you would have chosen with your group of friends, with the shuttle as a bonus. Bravo, Christian!

    We had a truly awesome week in Morocco with Chris. A big thank you for the top-notch organization and the superb trails. An excellent mix of biking and discovering the local culture over a delicious tajine or Moroccan tea.

    We just came back from a wonderful mountain biking experience with Chris. We stayed at his guesthouse, which has an incredible view of the Alps.
    We started in Verbier with a day of coaching that brought us all to a new level of riding, thanks to Chris's insightful feedback.
    The next day, we did shuttles in Valais and had a lot of fun.
    Chris's enthusiasm for mountain biking is contagious.
    As a coach, he understands your limits and helps you progress, while making you feel safe.
    As a host, he provides a very attentive service to make your stay comfortable.
    You won't find a better mountain biking experience than this!

    Great team, great bus, and great atmosphere. Chris knows all the best trails in Valais and is super professional (there's even a spare bike in the shuttle...). I've taken shuttles in many countries, and this Swiss experience is really a bargain for this quality of service.

    Don't think twice: sign up for their next sessions.

    Thank you Christian for your good humor, your humility and above all for the knowledge of your region! Even in... Breton weather?
    You found us some beautiful, beautiful lines!
    And thanks also to the driver, discreet but just as friendly and who takes care of our bikes!

    To be done again without a doubt!

    Chris and his team are top-notch, Chris knows Valais and its trails like the back of his hand, he is friendly and a good teacher when needed.
    He's a top rider and takes great photos too. Sore eyes because the mountains are so beautiful, and sore arms too, because the trails are so tempting.
    In short, pure happiness!

    See you soon Chris, for sure ;)

    I spent a week with Christian exploring the Valais region between Orsières and Zermatt.
    It was an incredible experience: the mountain biking challenges, the mountain views, the mountain huts for lunch, and the homemade dinners.
    Each day, we took a shuttle to a new location and used the lifts as much as possible, then the e-MTB for additional climbs.
    He adapted the descents/traverses according to my abilities and desires. He knows the local trails, huts, and access points very well.
    I end this week with gratitude, a sense of wonder at the Alps, and the desire to return for more adventures.

  • Cédric Monnet

    Awesome day!!! Whether you're a beginner or comfortable on the MTB trail, Chris guides you with great technical advice, patience and happiness..!!!
    A great new feature at EXORIDE: e-MTB courses, with tips on how to handle these latest-generation machines and use them to their full potential on the terrain, downhill and.... uphill..!!!
    Have fun with EXORIDE !!!
