Mountain Bike Lessons in Canmore – Trail Sports

Trail Sports is the rental and lessons shop at the Canmore Nordic Centre, and it is a handy first stop for Mountain Bike Lessons in Canmore. The shop sits right at the trailhead of the Nordic Centre singletrack network, so lessons start on real trails a few pedal strokes from the door.

Lessons and guided rides

Private lessons last 1.5 hours and suit first-timers as well as riders who want to sharpen their skills. You can ride a mountain bike, an e-mountain bike or a gravel bike. Groups of two to six riders of a similar level can book one shared private lesson. Guided rides of 2 to 3 hours are also offered for 1 to 6 people.

Programs for everyone

Besides private sessions, Trail Sports runs adult group lessons and courses, kids bike programs, women’s programs and bike maintenance clinics through the summer. Lessons and guided rides are led by a PMBIA-certified instructor, according to the shop’s website.

Rentals and service

The rental fleet covers mountain bikes, e-mountain bikes and gravel bikes, and the shop also does bike servicing and repairs. Rentals are booked separately from lessons.
