Watching René Wildhaber race down the mountain on his bike leaves your mouth agape - and you can't help but wish you could do the same. With René, it looks as if the mountain bike is part of him, he rides down the trails so light-footedly and aesthetically.

The Swiss rider, who grew up on Flumserberg, has always had a soft spot for bikes. He initially used his bike as a means of transportation as his parents didn't own a car. As a result, he automatically got better and better by constantly riding up and down the mountain. He was already relatively successful in his first races, which meant that the first support came quickly and gave him the necessary push to the top. Now he travels around the world on his bike and has been able to realize the dream of the then still young boy.

Races are not the most important thing for him, however. It is more important for him to be able to do something good; to give other people what he couldn't offer them before and to share his experiences.

So René also puts a lot of his energy into promoting young talent. As a perspactives ambassador, he has already passed on his knowledge with several tutorials and at the Season End Weekend. But that's not all! Every year, his "Wildis Füchse" camp gives aspiring Swiss mountain bikers between the ages of 10 and 15 the chance to train with him for a day and learn valuable tips. In this way, he wants to spare them the mistakes that he himself had to go through. In addition to athletic development, the topics of nutrition, recovery and technique are also covered. But the focus is always on having fun, of course.
