What's the kids bike league?

The Kids Bike League is the Swiss Ski School‘s summer offer! In the Kids Bike League, experienced mountain bike guides introduce you to the passion of mountain biking in a fun way. Year after year, your skills are trained and improved. Soon, you’ll be able to accompany your parents on their mountain bike outings.

How does it work?

The Kids Bike League is divided into three levels: Marmot, Chamois and Ibex. At each level, children learn to use their bikes according to their age and ability.

Marmot

I’m 3 or 4 years old and I’ve already had my first experiences with a bike without pedals or a mountain bike. I’d like to improve my skills in a fun way.

Goal: My bike becomes my best friend.

Chamois

I’m between 5 and 7 years old and I’m safe on my bike. I’d like to improve my skills still further and dare to take on bigger obstacles.

Goal: I already enjoy cycling, especially on easy terrain.

Reservation
Ibex

I’m between 8 and 12 years old and I ride my bike almost blindly. I’d like to improve my skills on medium-difficulty trails. I have a good grasp of all the obstacles and can control my speed to suit the terrain.

Goal: I can finally accompany Mom and Dad on their bike trips.
