Austria – Switzerland – Italy
Three Countries Trail week – Clinic Week
MTB Clinic week in Oostenrijk, Zwitserland & Italië
Are you an avid mountain biker who is hungry for new challenges and has the urge to push your limits? Or are you just starting to develop your next-level skills on trail and enduro trails and ready to immerse yourself in the exciting world of flow trails, enduro descents, root passages, alpine meadows, breathtaking views, “slowskill” passages, natural rock gardens, and much more? If so, the Three Country Trail Week around Nauders is waiting for you!
This epic clinic journey is led by none other than MTB Skillscoach Martin Chick. Each day starts with intensive technique training, where you learn the tricks of the trail and enduro technique. We then put this knowledge into practice on challenging trails in the area. In addition, each participant receives a lift pass, so that you have effortless access to the beautiful trails in Austria, Italy and Switzerland.
You may be asking yourself, “Is this unique experience right for me?” If you already have a solid command of your mountain biking skills and are longing for more perfection and control, then the answer is a resounding “Yes!" Are you driven enough to challenge yourself, find your limits and push them under expert guidance? We are ready to support you in this adventure!
Under Martijn's expert guidance, you will always explore your own boundaries first, in a safe environment where you can learn and experiment at your own pace before we raise the bar.
In addition to strengthening your technical skills, we also pay extensive attention to slowkills during the Three Countries Trail week. These skills are invaluable when you enter difficult paths, where control and precision are more important than speed. You will learn how to keep your balance in technical terrain and overcome obstacles.
Varied trail rides and exercises will encourage you to push your boundaries and take on new challenges. In short, the Three Countries Trail Week offers you as a mountain biker a unique opportunity to take your trail and enduro skills to the next level, all in a safe environment that is tailored to your personal needs. Get ready for an unforgettable mix of learning, challenge and fun that you will remember for a long time!
Day program
Program overview: What to expect
Every day starts around 08:00 with a joint breakfast. After breakfast we will start working on the techniques of the day at our private skills park. After discussing the technique in the skills park it is time to start working on the trails with what we have learned. One of the lifts takes us to the starting location of the day. Lunch is enjoyed daily along the way. At each mountain station you will find cozy restaurants with local and classic specialties. Around 15:00/15:30 we will finish the lesson program, after which there is time to ride trails again and receive instructions on request. Around 16:00 we will return to the accommodation for an evaluation of the day.
In Italy and Austria, as in skiing, the difficulty levels of trails are indicated by colours:
- Black: Very technical and steep
- Red: Very challenging
- Blue: Difficult
- Green: Easy/ Flowtrail
Sunday: We arrive in Nauders on our own in the afternoon. Introduction and dinner will take place at a location in the village that is yet to be determined. Then we check in at the hotel or our accommodation.
Monday: The week starts at a relaxed pace. The morning is all about the basic skills and how to apply them on flow trails for maximum fun and control. Today we mainly ride the green trails to acclimatize to riding in the Alps.
Tuesday: We repeat the techniques of the previous day to warm up. On the program are turns, looking techniques and introduction to line choice, essential when riding technical Alpine trails. Today we explore green, blue and red trails.
Wednesday: Today we combine the techniques of the previous days and ride green, blue and red trails. The focus of the day is on off-camber and root passages. We also go to Italy to explore one of the longest and most amazing flow trails in the area (7km flow). In addition, the "endo turn", bunny hops and small jumps are on the program, fun and indispensable on the trails.
Thursday: On the program is the famous “bunker trail”, marked red but in our opinion more a black trail in Italy. Today we ride more distance with challenging enduro traverses, rock and root passages and breathtaking views along the way as a reward!
Friday: Today is all about questions: what do you still want to learn and which trail would you like to ride again? Fatigue can play a role, so the intensity can vary depending on the group dynamics. For those who want, there is the possibility to ride a black trail that requires good mastery of skills. There are several challenging trails in Nauders.
Saturday: Alas, the adventure is over! With a wealth of experiences, expanded skills and perhaps even new friendships, we return home. Around 09:00 we want to check out and leave, knowing that many have a long journey ahead of them.
Don't miss this chance to surpass yourself in the beautiful surroundings of Tyrol. Register today and get ready for an adventure that will take your mountain biking skills and passion to new heights.

Our reviews
Roland Mol24 September 2024 Met MTB Travel naar Schotland geweest. Aanrader van jewelste. Alles goed geregeld. Je moet wel met vertrouwen op de fiets zitten en flink kunnen klimmen. Niet bang zijn voor stijle (soms wortel-) afdalingen of een jump. Ook vallen is simpelweg niet uit te sluiten. Goede bescherming is dus een must. Als dit je niet afschrikt: kijk naar de foto’s en besluit voor jezelf. Hoe gaaf is dit… 😃🤘🏻 Mariska van der Voort25 Juli 2024 Fantastische week waar je je eigen grenzen kan opzoeken onder goede begeleiding. De opbouw van deze week is heel goed, stapje voor stapje uitdagender. Het is een intense week, maar laat ook zeker genoeg ruimte over voor je eigen invulling. Volgend jaar ben ik er weer bij. boldor boldor16 Juli 2024 Had a great clinic week in Nauders, very well organized and lot's of fun. Nice apartments with a small practice field in the garden. Trails in the Nauders area are epic. From flowy, to very technical with steep rocky, rooty descents. Super fun to ride, in a beautiful area. Martijn (instructor) provides a really well build-up during the week. The enables you to build your skills and confidence at a relaxed and responsible manner. Together with lot’s of personal feedback your riding will undoubtedly improve vastly. Pavlo Starov15 Juli 2024 Ik heb een heel leuk en fantastisch weekend gehad! Geoffrey Van Der Voordt14 Juli 2024 Eerste keer met een MTB-groepsreis mee en zeker niet de laatste keer! MTB Travel heeft met de reis naar Nauders de lat hoog gelegd. Comfortabele accommodatie, kundige trainer en goede reisorganisatie. Martijn heeft elke dag een goede opbouw uitgestippeld, waardoor iedereen in de groep grote stappen vooruit ging. Mischa heeft prachtige foto’s gemaakt (ook niet onbelangrijk😉) en goede medische ondersteuning verricht (met het grenzen verleggen tijdens het mountainbiken ga je toch echt een keer vallen…). Deze reis kan ik men zeker aanbevelen! Luke13 Juli 2024 The trip to Nauders with MTB Adventure was a blast! Organization of logistics was smooth and riding with their mountain bike coach helped me a lot in improving my skills down the technical enduro trails at Reschenpass. Our group consisted of six people plus the MTB coach and an organizer from MTB Adventure, resulting in a kind and supportive group atmosphere. Tom Klerks1 Juli 2024 Een hele leuke clinic gehad in Lunteren. Ik deed de 'Next level Skill training'. Stijl afdalen, Switchbacks, Endo, Endo turn, klimmen met opstakels en trackstand. De trainer pakt iedere techniek stapje voor stapje beet en voor je het weet ga je met veel meer vertrouwen de moeilijke dingen doen! Kracht zit echt in de herhaling wat je voldoende doet. Verassend dat ik sommige technieken verkeerd had aangeleerd, zo ging ik bijvoorbeeld altijd door de knieën in een afdaling, terwijl ik juist rechtop moet gaan staan. De volgende training staat alweer gepland om aan de slag te gaan met drops en jumps! arthur gabrielse27 Juni 2024 Als Bossche Bikers samen met MTB Adventures en nog andere instructeurs een clinic mogen bezorgen voor een internationaal bedrijf. Fijne en professionele samenwerking gehad met Mischa. Aanrader! Eelco van der Leer25 Juni 2024 Top clinic! Goede begeleiding en mooie route.
