Girls shredding days

A weekend of shredding just for the women of the downhill world

Location
Les Deux Alpes

Updated

For one weekend only the resort of Les 2 Alpes puts the women riders in the spotlight.

Enjoy sharing skills and knowledge with the event ambassador Isabeau Courdurier, Enduro MTB World Champion. 

This year, Isabeau will personally invite a hand-picked group of mini-riders aged under 10 to ride with her and benefit from two days of coaching. 

The ‘teens’ (10 to 17) and ‘girls’ (actually women, aged 18 and over) will be able to access pro coaching and ride on the Les 2 Alpes Bike park and learn obstacle clearance techniques and a reduced rate on the passes.
