The guides to Swiss Cycling Mountain Biking do far more than simply show you the way; they open up a whole world of adventure that you wouldn’t have been able to access on your own. Thanks to their local knowledge, a mountain bike guide can introduce their clients to hidden gems, turning the ride into an unforgettable experience with a fantastic atmosphere. A guide does much more than simply act as a sat-nav; they know how to recognise dangers and avoid them. They provide a sense of security on tricky sections as well as personal support.
The qualities required of a guide go far beyond a mere knowledge of the routes and technical skills. A guide must have good interpersonal skills and be able to manage group dynamics effectively.
Before booking a guided tour, find out about the guide’s qualifications and training. This alone says a great deal about their abilities and reliability. Paying for a service does indeed entitle you to a corresponding level of service. However, there is no guarantee that your tour will live up to your expectations.
The national federation «Swiss Cycling» has been training mountain bike guides since 2004. Swiss Cycling guides undertake various training modules in the following areas: race planning and guiding, technique, methodology, teaching methods, group dynamics, medicine and first aid, weather, terrain orientation and race organisation.
At Tracea, our guides offer personalised tours for individuals or groups (cross-country, enduro or electric mountain biking)
Each guided outing is tailored to your needs, your ability, your preferences and expectations; a telephone consultation beforehand helps to determine the focus of the session.
