MTB alps training camps built for fast progression

Daily riding sessions with qualified MTB coaches

Each week includes multiple ride sessions, technical coaching and terrain adapted to the group’s level. Riders are coached by experienced instructors who specialise in Enduro MTB and downhill riding in Les Arcs.

Every day brings something different: line choice, cornering, braking control, jumps, flow, steep terrain management or off road riding techniques. The idea is never to just follow trails blindly, riders learn how to understand terrain, ride smarter and gain confidence on the bike.

We offer two formats depending on age and experience level:

Half-day MTB camps
Full-day MTB camps

This setup allows younger riders to manage fatigue while stronger riders can maximise time on the trails and benefit from a more intensive coaching experience.

Small level-based groups for better riding progression

Each MTB Alps camp is organised by riding level. One group, one level. It keeps the coaching relevant, the pace consistent and the progression is much faster across the week.

By riding with others of a similar standard, young riders feel more confident pushing themselves and stay motivated throughout the camp. It also allows coaches to choose the right alpine trails, technical sections and bikepark runs for the group without slowing things down or creating gaps in ability.

From the first uplift lap on Monday to the final downhill runs on Friday afternoon, the atmosphere stays supportive, sporty and fully ride-focused.

Bourg-Saint-Maurice & Les Arcs: One of the best MTB spots in the french alps

A world-class playground for enduro MTB and downhill

Bourg-Saint-Maurice and Les Arcs are widely considered one of the top destinations for mountain bike French Alps riding. The variety of terrain here is unreal for young riders looking to progress quickly.

You’ve got everything within easy reach:

Lift-accessed bikepark trails
Natural alpine singletrack
Forest enduro trails
Technical downhill sections
Pump tracks and skills zones

It means riders can work on every aspect of their riding without spending the week repeating the same trails over and over again. For a guided mountain bike Les Arcs experience, it’s hard to beat the combination of quality trails, quick access from Bourg-Saint-Maurice and proper alpine terrain that pushes riders to improve every day.

Varied terrain to build complete riders

One of the biggest strengths of riding in Les Arcs is how many different skills can be developed during a single week. Riders work on all the core MTB fundamentals needed for enduro MTB and downhill progression.

Sessions combine targeted coaching drills with real riding on natural trails, helping riders apply new techniques immediately in proper riding conditions.

That balance between structured coaching and real alpine riding is what makes Summit Bike camps different. Riders don’t just spend the week riding more, they ride better, smarter and with noticeably more confidence by the end of the camp.

For young riders looking for a serious Mtb Alps training week with experienced coaching, quality trails and a strong riding atmosphere, Summit Bike delivers a proper mountain biking adventure in the heart of the French Alps.
