MTB Kids Course – Learn your first skills! (Beginner level) 2026

Do your children dream of mountain biking adventures, but still have little experience on trails or in the bike park?

Our MTB Kids course series is back again this year, designed to guide children aged 6 to 12 through their first steps in the saddle. In collaboration with the enduro experts from RideAlps.ch GmbH, on Thursday, 9 July 2026, from 12:45 to 17:15, we are offering an afternoon dedicated to fundamental technical skills, enabling them to tackle trails safely and with style.

The activity takes place at the Airolo-Pesciüm cable car bottom station, where the children will learn the core basics of mountain biking on our pump track. Participants who demonstrate good mastery of the basics towards the end of the course will have the opportunity to tackle a descent in the Airolo Bike Park together with the guides.

Registration must be completed by 7 July 2026 using the form provided.

Price per participant (per day): CHF 65, which includes:

  • Instruction by J+S (Youth+Sports) instructors / MTB enduro experts
  • 1 cable car ascent with MTB

Discounts (not cumulative):

  • 10% off the course price for Airolo MTB season pass holders
  • CHF 20 for TCS members

This course is excellent preparation for the next level: MTB Kids Course – Bike Park (Intermediate level)
