9:30-16:00 Let’s go shredding! Today the objective is to do multiple shuttling using train or bike park lifts and implement our new skills on the trails. We may have 1-2 extra skills workshop as we ride. We would also like to double some of the runs as it is the best way to improve speed and confidence. We leave the destination open as it will be chosen depending on the weather/ time of the year and what type of riding we are seeking for. It could be Verbier/Leysin/Villars among others, we have so many options. Lunch and coffee stops are part of the planning as well of course.

DAY 3
8:30 Breakfast
9:30 Let’s go on a day long adventure. Today we will do one of our classical enduro day tour. Once again, we leave the destination open as our region offers so many options: Portail de Fully/ Emosson/ Morcles/ Col de Mille. Do a classic means 1 shuttle followed by a mixt of pedal and hike and bike to get to the very top of a descend that is usually longer than -1400m. It also means a bit of adventure, amazing views, and a lot of terrain diversity from alpine to loamy forest as we drop back down to the Rhône valley.
