Mountain biking is a great fun way to experience nature — and anyone who can ride a bike can join us! Ku' you imagine trying mountain biking and exploring the beautiful and fun trails hiding in the woods? Then our open course: “MTB for beginners” is a super good place to start!
We meet at Feriecenter Slettestrand and ride up our MTB technique track, which we have built in order to create a fun and effective training area for riders of all levels. Together with our trained and certified instructor, we use the technique track obstacles to practice the basic techniques so you can feel confident on the bike and ready to get out into the woods!
Don't hesitate to sign up for our course: “MTB for beginners” — you'll have a great and fun experience on the bike, as well as a feel for what mountainbiking is!
**Who can join? **
It is an advantage if you are roughly used to cycling, but previous experience on mountain biking is not necessary nor do you have to be in very good shape. The team is mainly for adults and adolescents, but children aged 12 and with some experience of cycling can also take part.
For children under 12 years of age, we would recommend our course: “MTB for children”.
Trained instructors
Our mountain bike team consists of 2 regular mountain bike instructors plus a team of external instructors who all at least have the D-MTBing 1 certification as well as several years of experience in teaching MTB. You can therefore be sure that your instructors know what they are doing and can provide safe and high-quality professional engineering training. Feriecenter Slettestrand is actually one of the very few places where one can receive lessons that prepare the instructor for the international EO-MTBING exam for MTB instructors and guides.

If you don't have your own mountain bike, then you are, of course, able to rent one of our cool rental mountain bikes in connection with the course - booking is necessary!
