Our Mountain Bike Guides
Experts on Two Wheels
In collaboration with top cycling pros, Krauti Bike Academy, and its founder Gerhard Krautwurst, we offer guests three tours a day divided into two groups based on skill and experience. Our bike guides are required to attend all of the training courses offered by the Association of South Tyrolean Mountain Guides, in order to ensure that their level of training remains on par with Europe’s elite. A member of the association is qualified to organise tours in the tourist sector and to conduct training in cycling technique. The training ensures that the group being accompanied is safe, the off-road cycling is done in an environmentally conscious way, and that everyone gets the technical advice they needed. A registered guide completing his or her training in the association will have had at least 150 units of 45 minutes in the following areas:
- Practical methodical exercises (imparting skills)
- Cycling technique (enhancement of their own abilities)
- Tours (leadership behaviour: group tours, orientation, themed tours etc.)
- First Aid
- Environment and the Law
- Methodology
- Training Theory
- Tour Planning
- Equipment, Gear
- Vocational Issues/Tourism
- Study of Landscapes
