Swiss MTB rental

[LanceB]

In Switzerland week after next with the other half (she’s Swiss/South African).

 

Dearly wish to ride. Looking to rent a bike (probably take my own helmet, shoes), but my French is shocking and they’re a climbing family, not MTBers. So not much luck googling or quizzing the family.

 

Anybody rented a MTB bike there before? Staying in the West, close to the French border, in Estavayer-le-Lac.

Most of the ski resorts have mtb rentals. Its a way for them to keep an income during the summer season. You will have no problem in renting the equipment. And pretty decent stuff as well, from xc to dh. And trust me, they will most probably be able to help you out in English. These are major tourist attractions. Or just ask the better half to take you to the ski lifts and help out with the translation. Its normally not an issue.

 

And remember, enjoy the scenery. Its pretty awesome.
