Mountain bike children

Great cycling together in one of Sweden’s finest mountain bike areas. Mountainbike kids is suitable for everyone who wants to have fun, learn to ride a mountain bike with good technique and who wants to get to know the beautiful trails of Hellas. The course is for children 8-12 years, and their guardians. Children and parents cycle in different groups but approximately at the same time. (It is not a requirement for the parent to join).

We also run a similar course, on the same dates, for young people aged 13-19. See Mountain bike youth.

  • Price: 1 485 kr/child.
    Bring your own bike and helmet or rent from us.
  • Time: 17:30 – 19:00
  • Dates Autumn 2025: 20, 27 Aug, 3, 10, 17, 27 Sep.
  • Wednesday evenings: 6 times.

In conjunction with the children’s course, there is a parallel course for parents/carers. The course starts 15 minutes after the children’s groups. Usually we have three groups, beginner, intermediate and advanced.

  • Price: 1 995 kr. (This is a discounted price, it normally costs 2 350 kr.) Bring your own bike or hire from us.
  • Dates Autumn 2025: 20, 27 aug, 3, 10, 17, 27 sep
  • Time: 17:45- 19:15
  • Wednesday evenings: 6 times.

You need to be a good cyclist to take part in the course. You do not need to have tried cycling in the forest before.

  • Technique training, great cycling and community. The children and adult groups are separated, i.e. you cycle at the same time but not together. We expect to have 5 different groups for children, from beginners to advanced. Parents will tentatively cycle in three groups, from beginner to intermediate/advanced.
  • Schedule: It is advisable to arrive a little earlier before the course, about 20 minutes, so that you have time to get ready.
  • We recommend you to use knee pads, available in our shop on site or to rent when booking.
  • Rent a mountain bike during the course, this year’s model and in top condition. You can choose between a mountain bike with front suspension only or one with front and rear suspension, a little more comfortable and safer.
  • What to bring to the course: Bike helmet (included if you rent a bike from us). T-shirt, jumper or windbreaker, short or long trousers. Gym, street or walking shoes. Water bottle for the bike, or a backpack with a water bottle. Gloves can be useful.
  • We will bring everything you need to fix punctures and other possible problems on your bike during the course.
  • Other: Ride the type of pedals you are used to using. We also recommend that you bring sports drinks and 2-4 bars/energy gels to get you through the day energy-wise.
  • Dropper post, it is very good if you have a dropper post on your bike, if you have an older bike it may be better to rent. It is possible to cycle well with all reasonably modern bikes.
  • Venue: Meeting point is Mountainbikeskolan / Kafé Källtorp, Ältavägen 105 in Nacka. We have some parking lots that are free of charge for guests. Bus 401 and Bus 821 stops just outside our enclosure, bus stop “Källtorp”.
  • Food and refreshments: The café is open to course participants at all sessions. Homemade, sandwiches, burgers from the grill and drinks every evening.
  • Make new cycling friends: During the course you will get to know other students. We arrange for everyone who wants to sign up to a ‘buddy list’. There are usually groups on Facebook or WhatsApp, so you can stay in touch with your group and meet up for mountain biking even after the course.
  • 10% off in the shop for course participants: Mountainbikeskolan has a shop with bicycle equipment such as helmets, arm and knee protectors, gloves, tubes, tires, pumps, etc. As a course participant you have a 10% discount on everything in the shop during the bike tour day. Mountainbikeskolan is a Trek dealer and has a wide range of rental bikes of all Trek mountain bike models.
  • About us: Mountainbikeskolan started in 2014 and has been running mountain bike courses ever since. Mountainbikeskolan has a garden café and a garden with its own greenery, berries, fruit, vegetables and herbs. There is also a bike park. Mountainbikeskolan organizes cycling events and dinners for companies and groups who enjoy good food and great cycling.
