Om kursen på svenska ››
It's "ladie's first" as we kick off the season with our 4th annual Women's Mtb Skills Clinic! Join us for one or both days. We have several guides and staff onsite, and will be able to accommodate and challenge all levels within the beginner/intermediate range. This clinic usually sells out fast, so make sure you book your spot early. The idea with the Women's MTB Skills Clinic is to:
- Introduce mountain biking to women new to the sport.
- Enhance the skills of beginner and intermediate level women riders.
- Provide suitable challenges with technical workshops and trail riding.
- Have our team of passionate and experienced riders on site, ready to share their knowledge and perspectives.
- Have fun, connect with like minded people, eat good food and stretch it all out in a yoga class
If you choose to join us for both days and need accommodation, it's available right at our venue, Vallåsens Värdshus. Please book directly with the hotel.
