GLOW Bike School
RIDING FOR girls, EVERY WEDNESDAY.
A mountain bike progression cycle for girls aged 3 to 11, led by our state-certified coaches. Two age groups, eight girls max per group: they learn handling, independence and above all the joy of riding together — in small groups, at their own pace, with no competition.

Two seasons, one thread
A CYCLE THAT FOLLOWS THE SEASONS.
The Bike School runs as a cycle: every Wednesday builds on the one before. Two blocks a year, autumn and spring, so nobody ever starts from scratch again. We meet every week at the Maison Nordique in the Chamonix valley: 9:00-10:30 for the 3-6 year-olds, 10:30-12:00 for the 7-11 year-olds.
Spring block
April → June
We step it up: more technical trails, endurance, and a longer ride at the end of the cycle to put it all together.
- Technical trails
- Endurance and pacing
- Final mountain ride

The progression
WHAT DOES A WEDNESDAY LOOK LIKE?
- 01
Welcome & bike check
We check bikes and helmets together: tyre pressure, brakes, saddle height. They learn to do it themselves.
- 02
Skills workshop
One theme per session: braking, cornering, obstacles, descending position. Playful drills, never any pressure.
- 03
Trail ride
We apply the day's theme on the valley trails, in a small group matched to their level.
- 04
Debrief & snack
We look back on what we learned, share the day's wins, and leave with a goal for next week.
Our approach
GIRLS TOGETHER, AT THEIR OWN PACE.
- Small groups
- Two age groups (3-6 and 7-11), eight girls max per group: every rider gets coach time and rides at her true level.
- Personalization
- Every session is tailored to each girl's level and personality. The day's theme becomes bespoke drills, never a forced routine.
- Diversity
- Varied terrain, games and themes every Wednesday so the bike stays a joy and a field of discovery, not a habit.
- State-certified coaches
- Led by our certified cycling instructors, members of the French Cycling Instructors' Union. Sessions run in both French and English.
- Equipment
- No suitable mountain bike for your daughter? We help you choose the right one and guide you through the purchase — a well-fitted, well-set bike is the foundation.

Parents' questions
- From what age?
- The Bike School welcomes girls from 3 to 11, split into two groups: 3-6 and 7-11. Write to us if you're unsure which group fits — we always find a way.
- Where and when?
- Every Wednesday, departing from the Maison Nordique in the Chamonix valley: 9:00-10:30 for the 3-6 year-olds, 10:30-12:00 for the 7-11 year-olds.
- How many girls per group?
- Eight girls max per group, so each one truly progresses and gets coach time.
- Do they need MTB experience?
- No. Groups are formed by age and level: some are discovering trails, others already link descents.
- What should they bring?
- A mountain bike in good order, a helmet, gloves, water and a windproof layer. No suitable bike? We help you choose one. We handle the rest.
- What if it rains?
- We ride in almost all weather with the right kit. If conditions are unsafe, the session is postponed.
- How do we register?
- Registration is online via HelloAsso, cycle by cycle. Spots are limited — book early.
- Are the courses guaranteed to run?
- Courses run with a minimum of 8 registered participants. Below that threshold we reserve the right to cancel the cycle — you would of course be fully refunded.
