There are so many interesting outdoor sports that sometimes you just want to try them all! However, it's often difficult to find an available or interested partner. Our introductory outdoor activities for women allow you to get started right away. In fact, most participants in Les Chèvres activities arrive alone! And they often leave with new friends. All that's left to do is take the plunge and discover the sport that has always appealed to you. To discover all our introductory activities, explore our program.
How can you have a positive and safe experience? By learning the right moves right from the start. Every sport has its ethical side, but it also has a technical side that is essential to progress and avoid injury. In mountain biking, for example, a bad position or poorly executed braking can quickly increase the risk of a fall. During introductory courses, qualified coaches and instructors teach the basics in a progressive way, adapted to the group's pace. The aim is to leave with a toolbox that will give you the keys to understanding the sport, progressing with pleasure and building self-confidence.
When you understand what you're doing and why, it's much easier to feel confident. Learning basic techniques and ethics not only allows you to progress in complete safety, but also to acquire an autonomy that will follow you on your next outings. Being well-equipped means you'll be able to practice more freely and enjoyably, in line with your goals.
Chances are you've signed up on your own, for lack of an interested friend! But by joining an introductory group, you'll be surrounded by curious, motivated people who share your interests. It's the perfect time to chat, laugh and bond. Many lasting friendships are made during our activities. The social aspect is as important as the sport itself, and nothing beats the pleasure of getting together with a group of inspiring women to enjoy the great outdoors.
Safety is paramount. Some disciplines involve risks, and it's essential to learn in a supervised environment. At Les Chèvres activities, qualified first-aid instructors are on hand, as are outdoor professionals. Above all, our introductory courses take place in an environment free of pressure to perform. Here, everyone progresses at their own pace, learning to respect their limits and, sometimes, even to recognize them better.
Every sport comes with its own set of equipment, techniques and little tricks that you can't always find in the manuals. Being able to ask questions directly to experienced people is a huge advantage! Whether you want to better understand how to care for your equipment, check a climbing maneuver, or find out how to adapt your clothing for a mountain activity, our coaches and supervisors are there to share their knowledge. You'll leave with clear, practical answers that make all the difference.
Finally, an introductory activity is much more than just a class: it's a gateway to a world of discovery, encounters and self-confidence.
