Rode with RideAbility for a number of days earlier this month and had an amazing time. Jo and Laurent are superb guides. We're not hugely into the bike park, so their local knowledge and willingness to explore really made the trip — a great mix of coaching and tech trails, including some real off-the-beaten-path stuff we'd never have found on our own. They even picked amazing lunch spots along the way. Highly recommended!

James Massey-Ford

Having a few days riding with Jo and Ivan is something we look forward to every year! They are amazing coaches and guides, helping to develop riding skills whilst simultaneously introducing you to all areas of the Portes du Soleil, including some that are away from the popular tracks. Their passion for riding and the natural environment makes for fabulous days out. We are looking forward to riding with you again next year!

Thank you to both Thomas and Arthur for taking the boys out with them during their stay in Morzine. They loved the week there and got a lot out of the sessions with both of them, despite one of the boys having a fall and breaking his bike on the first day. We had booked a full day session, but due to the fall this was stopped, but the team were very accommodating and fitted them in later in the week, taking them back out and down different trails. I have no idea where they went but I do know they were given the confidence to navigate the ski lifts which were an unknown to us, and had the best time. As a parent I was nervous but Joseph answered all the questions I had before booking and reassured me as I was staying in the UK and both Thomas and Arthur were great with the. It’s while riding. I can guarantee that we will be back for them to do it all again, and can see why you are all so enthusiastic to ride there.

My 15yo had an ace week with Jo and Damien going to different area each day, went out for half a day on the day off with someone he met on the camp, & def wants to go again! Perfect set up esp when as a parent you don’t ride or don’t ride well enough to keep up!

Nick Williams

My son Sam did his first RAD camp this week and thoroughly enjoyed it. Jo and Damian are very professional and thorough - from assessing the kids ability, ensuring they have the right equipment and accounting for my son’s food allergies on lunch stops. Sam has learnt a lot this week and is no doubt a better and safer rider for it. Will definitely be booking again next year. Thanks guys - top service!

Suzie Rae

My son has just done his third Rideability RAD camp in a row. He started age 12 and is now 14 and has absolutely loved it every year. The coaches are brilliant and he learns new skills each time, as well as making friends and having brilliant days out on the mountain. Highly recommended!

Katherine Brooks

Great lessons for our 8 year old son (+parent). Safe and well planned but also allowed him appropriate fun and freedom. Highly recommend. Thanks Jo and Thomas.

Cormac O'Brien

These guys are excellent. We booked as a family group with Ivan who took us up Super Morzine. My son (10) is a bit better than the rest of us so he worked him a bit harder and recommended we split the group. I went with Damien and my son went with Arthur. I can't recommend these guys enough for beginners or people with limited skills. They teach with a focus on building confidence along with skills. They know all the trails and do a great job of stringing things together. After only my second session I went back up with my son and were well able to a few laps unguided. The guides were all good people, patient bang on time and cater the session to what you want to get out of it. I can't recommend them enough.

Finlay Sandberg

I had a day and a half with Damien and Arthur, and it was my first time riding in Morzine. They were both incredible, guiding me all over the mountain, encouraging me, and pushing me to try new features and trails. They were both extremely knowledgeable about the local trails, and showed me so many trails I would have never ridden! I highly recommend Rideability, absolutely amazing!

Rachel Jones

Jonathan was a wonderful guide with some great pointers to help me improve. I was pretty nervous but was soon put at ease. Had a blast!
