Plusieurs journées vtt enduro sur les plus beaux trails du Valais effectuées avec Exoride, et à chaque fois c'est la GRANDE CLASSE! Chris est un super guide; hyper sympa très expérimenté, avec une parfaite connaissance des trails, décontracté et qui sait s'adapter aux groupes qu'il accompagne. Des journées avec beaucoup de dénivelé négatif dans des paysages à couper le souffle et une super ambiance pour un maximum de plaisir! Merci Chris!

EXORIDE, c'est une expérience unique avec un guide expérimenté et surtout passionné! Je recommande vivement EXORIDE pour vos sorties shuttle, MTB, voyages, cours de perfectionnement et sorties entreprises. Vous trouverez de multitude de sortie à tous niveaux! Très important : consulter les niveaux requis des sorties avant de vous inscrire, si votre niveau est surévalué vous vous mettrez en danger ainsi que les autres. Bon ride à vous.
Henri Ardevol
Simply the best! Chris’ competence is only on par with his patience as well as his ability to clearly explain what matters. Chris can encourage where you’re doing good and point out what limits you so you truly learn & improve. Simply said, one day with Chris is absolutely invaluable 😃👍💪

Christian is a great guide and a very nice guy. I spent one day with him on e-mtb around Liddes and he walked me through the first steps in mountain biking on technical terrain. I’m impressed about how much you can learn in a day and how all this can be fun. Highly recommended to anyone, from newbies to experts!

Petit groupe d'amis pratiquant régulièrement le VTT, nous avons découvert des paysages et des sentiers extraordinaires. Le choix des traces était tout à fait adapté à notre niveau et notre guide a su prendre en compte les niveaux variés du groupe. Nous ne pouvons que conseiller Exoride. Merci encore à notre guide et notre chauffeur.

C’est à se demander comment Kris connaît autant de trails magiques.. à chaque fois une expérience unique et une journée de bonheur.
Renaud Chantry
J’ai pris énormément de plaisir sur cette journée en haut valais : on a roulé des trains inconnus et magnifiques, on a beaucoup roulé, l’ambiance était vraiment cool entre les participants... et puis quand on a envie de s’énerver un peu sur le bike, Kris (le guide) a du répondant!! J’avais des petites étoiles dans les yeux en rentrant parce que c’est trop bon le bike comme ça ! Merci à toute l’équipe pour l’organisation...
Laurane Schaerer
Super journée sur les trails haut-valaisan! Organisation au top et super ambiance^^
James Rega
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!
RIDGELINE STUDIO
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.
