Bike Skala for adults

Here are some tips to help you choose the right course or camp at the Arosa Bike School. So that you can find what suits you best.

If you are not sure which level you should choose. We can help.

Level 1: Beginner

he tours are suitable for people who do not have much bike or e-bike experience yet and are beginners on single trails. The trails are easy with big curves and no particular difficulties. Most of the tour is on hard-packed meadows or stone paths, where simple braking techniques can be practised and applied. Root and rock sections are not to be expected.

Level 2: Beginner+

You’ve discovered your passion for biking and have already gained some experience. Your biking basics are sound and you can ride safely on single trails. Pedalling for 2 to 3 hours has already become a habit for you. Trails with small roots and single stone elements on the path don’t cause you much trouble and you look forward to new challenges.

Level 3: Advanced

You can ride steep and also blocked trails. Technically demanding trails are selected, which require numerous technical challenges from you. The trails can contain loose scree as well as demanding root sections. It’s up hill and down dale and you are at one with your bike. You have no problem pedalling for several hours.

Level 4: Expert

You love your bike and already have several years of experience and  a lot of confidence. There is barely any trail you can’t ride. You are looking for stretches with large boulders and high rises. You can smoothly master jumps, hairpin bends and tricky downhill runs.
