Cardrona Mountain Bike School

Cardrona offers mountain bike lessons for beginner and intermediate riders. Take a private lesson to make riding a bike... just like riding a bike!

The Cardrona Mountain Bike School will help you ditch the training wheels and get you riding the trails with confidence! This summer we’re offering a bike park first timer package and private mountain bike lessons for beginner and intermediate abilities... we’ve got you covered!

New to the bike park and would like to find your way around the trails but don't need a lesson? We now offer bike park guiding – we'll show you which trails will be best for your ability level in a 1hr session! You can have 3 people in a 1hr guiding session for just $60 total (if you're all a similar ability level), and add extra mates for $25 each. Book your guide online here!
