Basically, our courses are held in German. Depending on the trainer, it is possible that the trainer translates the essential points into English. Always depending on the trainer and the necessary time in the course.

No, you should already have driven very simple flow trails. A stable driving position and block free braking should no longer be an issue.

We move exclusively on blue routes to be able to concentrate primarily on the driving technique without being too distracted by the rough terrain. In individual cases and depending on the group dynamics, we can also approach a red route.

In our park there is a fullface - full face helmet mandatory. Without such a helmet is not allowed to ride in the Bikepark Winterberg. Since we move on blue tracks, we certainly recommend knee or knee-shin protectors in addition to the full-face helmet. To be completely safe, a protector jacket then makes the round.

If you do not have your own protective equipment, you can reserve it either together with a biker reservation or in the further booking process of the course, for your course day.

In addition, we recommend each participant to bring their own cycling gloves. Otherwise, gloves are also available for purchase at our bike station.

All our courses build on each other. When making your decision, you should be sure to internalize the course content from the lower course level. If there are still stumbling blocks in this content, we recommend that you take the lower course level to start. All our trainers will support you individually, so that no one is underchallenged.

Yes, a day ticket for our Bikepark Winterberg is included in the course price.

Our courses usually always take place with a minimum of 3 participants.

In order to give maximum attention to everyone, we limit our courses to a maximum of 7 participants.

Rain or cold are usually no reason for us to cancel the Bikepark Kids Beginner Course. Should the weather bring snow or storm and therefore a danger for you, we decide spontaneously and depending on the weather whether the Bikepark Kids Beginner Course can take place. If we have to cancel the course, the participants will receive a voucher and can flexibly look for a new date.

Yes, the maximum age for our children's courses is 14. From 15 years, the courses are for teenagers and adults.
Courses that parents and children under 14 want to do together can of course be done in a private course with us.

Yes, full-face helmets are mandatory at the Bikepark Winterberg. If you don't have a full-face helmet, you can reserve one for your course day either together with a biker reservation or in the further booking process of the course.

No, unfortunately not. We ask you to take out accident insurance yourself.

Yes, about 30 minutes break is included in each of our courses. The easiest way is to bring your own packed lunch. Depending on the situation, you can also go to the snack bar downstairs at the bike store and buy a warm snack there.

In each of our courses we have of course a guideline depending on the course level and corresponding topics. Of course, we try to consider your wishes and goals in the courses.

The pedals on which you feel most comfortable are best suited. If you ride platform pedals, make sure you have enough grip on the pedals. If you feel more comfortable on clipless pedals, that's fine too. However, you will learn a cleaner technique on platform pedals.

If you are new to mountain biking, you can participate in your sports clothes without any problems. It is important that the clothing is not too wide, but also not necessarily skin tight cut. Should you already own mountain bike clothing, you certainly know best in what you feel comfortable! 😉

With us in the Bikepark Winterberg we are actually quite well equipped in the bike store to help out well in case of breakdowns.
Sure, but it is not bad to have a spare tube and a multitool always in the backpack to be quickly ready for use again.

In our hostel not far from the bike park we have a place to stay with bikewash and within 2min from the bike park.

For all bikers there is a 10% discount on tickets (except season and ride tickets) and rental equipment. You just need to bring a proof from the hostel and you will get the discount at the bike station.
