At the BIKE Women Camp, the participants experienced a long weekend full of riding technique training, guided tours, workshops and lots of fun. Fantastic trails, relaxed yoga sessions, test bikes, pizza and partying await between the peaks of the Brenta Dolomites - an MTB camp for women that perfectly combines sporting challenge and dolce vita.

In mid-July, the Dolomiti Paganella bike region was once again transformed into a hotspot for bike enthusiasts from all over Europe. The 75 participants in the BIKE Women Camp experienced four days of trail fun with views of the Brenta Dolomites and the turquoise-coloured Lago di Molveno.

Biking against a dream backdrop and trails galore

The focus was on the shared experiences on the spectacular trails in the Bike Park Dolomiti Paganella. Flow trails, technical downhills and scenic panoramic routes offer the right terrain for every level. This includes the new "Duel", the longest trail in the entire bike region with a length of around 5.5 kilometres.

Under the guidance of experienced coaches, beginners and advanced riders improved their skills and were able to try out test bikes from leading brands.

Pasta & Party

But the camp offered more than just sporting challenges: Yoga sessions on the lakeshore, talks by bike experts and an evening get-together with a pizza and pasta party created a relaxed atmosphere.

Clothing manufacturer Dharco was also on board as a new camp partner with many chic styles. The dedicated exhibitors not only handed out test material, but also provided drinks, competitions and plenty of eye-opening experiences in their workshops. At Patagonia, tool bags were made from old functional jackets and mental coach Jen Price gave tips for more self-confidence when biking.
