MOUNTAIN BIKE CAMP: The Perfect Holiday with Kids
Bike Austria Guides teach kids how to have fun and be healthy
Bike Austria mountain bike camp teaches kids the freedom and exhilaration of riding fast and in control. During our 4-day MTB Summer camps, participants will learn to control their mountain bike in many different situations. They will gain confidence in more challenging terrain. Essential basic techniques will be covered including braking, turning-techniques, jumps, steep downhill trails, rooty singletrack, switchback corners, and more. More advanced, but essential MTB techniques, such as the wheelie drop and bunny hop will also be a part of the summer camp program.
During the mountain bike camp, we’ll ride plenty of singletracks, take cable cars high into the mountains, and maybe jump into a beautiful mountain lake. Our MTB summer camps are all about having a blast on the mountain bike in a group-focused, fun-filled environment. Participants will be organized into two groups, 7-12 and 13-16 years old.
An unforgettable adventure for the aspiring young rider who has already developed solid basic skills upon the bike. Without a focus on safety, we could not offer such a fun experience. Learn more about our Commitment to Safety.
