Cours privé débutant: j'ai passé une excellente demi journée, Christian est pédagogue, prend du temps pour vraiment bien expliquer les techniques, comment progresser, trouve différents moyens pour faire assimiler les mouvements et avant de m'en rendre compte je faisais des descentes que je n'aurais jamais imaginé faire au 1er cours et tout ça avec bonne humeur. Je me suis franchement éclatée et je le recommande absolument!! Vivement le prochain cours😁

Kris, décontracté et plein d’humour, a l’oeil à nous procurer les meilleures sensations aux journées guidées comme au niveau compréhension de pilotage. Je recommande l’équipe Exo sans hésiter 😊

Fantastic day shuttling with Chris at Exoride last Sunday. If you're in the area or even if not, I'd highly recommend hitting up the trails he guides around Visp with Exoride! They're techy, flowy, rocky, whatever you want. Thanks guys!

Each time I have been out with Exoride the group and location has been different but the feeling has been the same. Chris is a considerate guide and coach who can take you to the best biking in Valais and also help you with ride better through educated advice. I fully recommend you spend some time with Exoride.

Magnifique et incroyable journée avec Exoride ! Partie avec beaucoup d'appréhension et au final un guide extra qui met en confiance, patient et qui s'adapte à chaque participant. Des conseils personnalisés, avec acquisition d'une bonne base technique avant de pouvoir dévaler les pentes avec assurance. Merci beaucoup, coaching tout au long de la journée au top, une journée riche en émotions et en souvenirs !
