Great trails and expert guiding
Our guides are OTC trained, 1st aid qualified and are experts on riding and the area ~ you will feel the passion they have for the sport and the determination to make your holiday and rides the very best.
Our riding groups have small sizes, from 2 to 6-persons, to make sure the rides are flowing, safe and a great experience.
We normally allocate you a personal guide for your group to make sure that rides are geared to your own personal levels and preferences. With us, you matter
Stuart Pointon
Stuart has been in Zermatt since 2001. His main interest is mountain biking, mixed with skiing during the winter. An genuinely excellent tour leader, OTC Leader trained and with in depth knowledge of the trails, his mechanical skills, relaxed approach and good sense of humour add a sparkle to all his rides
Chris Patient
Chris lives for the outdoor lifestyle. A Zermatt resident for over 16 years, enjoying his hobbies of mountaineering, climbing, skiing, paragliding and, of course, mountain biking. OTC Leader trained and also an excellent photogapher, it would be difficult to find someone with more all-round skills, excellent ability, knowledge and as patient as his name suggests!
