FAQ
Do I need previous mountain biking experience to join the weekend?
Yes. This weekend is designed for participants who already have some experience riding a bike or mountain bike on trails and varied terrain. You do not need to be an expert rider, but you should feel comfortable riding on natural trails and handling descents. Your guide will adapt the pace and difficulty to the group's level.
Does the electric assistance make the activity suitable for everyone?
Electric assistance makes climbing much easier and allows you to enjoy the scenery and descents more comfortably. However, this remains a sporting activity requiring endurance, focus and a good level of fitness. Some downhill sections can still be technical and require confidence on a bike.

The Semnoz massif offers a wide variety of terrain. You will ride on forest tracks, panoramic trails, mountain paths and more technical single tracks. Routes are carefully selected to combine riding enjoyment, natural discovery and spectacular views over Lake Annecy and the Alps.
What is the difference between the two riding days?
The first day is generally dedicated to discovering the area, getting comfortable with the equipment and improving riding techniques. The second day focuses more on exciting descents, technical sections and fun trails, allowing you to fully enjoy the capabilities of the electric mountain bike.
Is the equipment included?
Yes. Your electric mountain bike, helmet, gloves and knee and elbow protection are all included. Equipment is checked before every outing to ensure maximum comfort and safety throughout the weekend.
What should I bring to fully enjoy the weekend?
We recommend bringing suitable sports clothing, comfortable sports shoes and a backpack containing water and a few energy snacks. Even with electric assistance, the activity remains physically demanding, so staying hydrated is essential.
