Petzen is a unique destination on the border of Austria and Slovenia, home to what many consider the world's best flow trail. This incredible trail offers 11 km of riding and over 1,000 metres of vertical descent, making it one of the best places to start mountain biking or improve your technique. It's the perfect place to build confidence, master cornering, and learn small jumps.

Running alongside it is one of Europe's most challenging race tracks, which hosts rounds of the Enduro World Series every year.

This is where we've decided to host a fun and educational camp together with Zhenya Shipilov. The idea is simple: spend an amazing week riding together, improving your skills, and having a great time.

Petzen is a beautiful green region surrounded by lakes, forests full of mushrooms and berries, and excellent local cuisine. It's also a fantastic destination for a family MTB holiday.

About Zhenya Shipilov

Zhenya is a competitive mountain biker and an experienced instructor, certified under the Canadian coaching system.

We'll stay in cozy mobile chalets right at the foot of the mountain, just 50 metres from the forest. Families are very welcome—some people may spend the week training, others simply riding, while friends or family can enjoy hiking and relaxing in the area.

Coaching takes place every other day, leaving three free days to ride on your own, swim in nearby lakes, or explore neighboring bike parks. More experienced riders can even head into Slovenia to tackle the famous black trails built through the old mining area.
