Highland bike park is a mountain bike destination like Bromont. The level of difficulty is moderate and enjoyable for any rider above basic intermediate. Highland is much smaller of a mountain than Bromont and much less steep. Most riders comfortable riding Bromont will have no issues at Highland. Riders are however encouraged to ride well within their envelope to ensure a safe and enjoyable time. Guides will be showing participants the mountain and encouraging moderation in their behavior. Just like anywhere, safe riding is a function of intelligent riding.
The trip includes, transport of riders and bikes to and from Highland Bike park, one night accommodation, guiding/teaching and full time mechanical support. Participants can bring more than 1 bike as there are dirt jumps and a pump track at the mountain. There is no extra cost for a second bike.
