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.

- 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.

My daughter had an amazing time riding in the Chamonix Valley last week with Lucile and Camille. They kept her safe, helped her improve, and boosted her confidence on the bike. Thank you!

Camille and Lucile gave my daughters a super week of camp. 5 days where the little ones couldn't wait for it to start again the next day! They had a great time and made incredible progress.

What an incredible experience! My 8yo discovered the joy of biking and found her confidence through her week with GLOW — she now begs for bike days and asks for more.
