Day 0 : Crans-Montana
Welcome to the Balcony of the Alps
Welcome to Crans Montana, a spectacular plateau overlooking some of the most iconic peaks in the Alps. The Matterhorn, Dent Blanche, Weisshorn, Zinalrothorn... will you be able to recognize them all?
Take this first day to soak up the magic of the surroundings and explore at your own pace.
Day 1 : Crans-Montana - Loèche-les-Bains
FROM THE GLACIER TO THE THERMAL BATHS
The day begins with a climb... by gondola, all the way up to 3,000 metres. After taking in the Plaine Morte Glacier and the incredible 360 degree panorama, it’s time for our first descent through an almost lunar landscape.
A succession of flowy singletracks keeps the smiles coming all day long. A few more pedal strokes and then we dive... straight into the thermal baths of Leukerbad for a well deserved wellness session!

Day 2 : Loèche-les-Bains - Lötschental
THE MAGIC OF THE LÖTSCHENTAL
A beautiful traverse takes us into the spectacular Jungfrau Aletsch UNESCO World Heritage Site.
With incredible views of the Bietschhorn as our backdrop, we ride flowy trail after flowy trail all the way to our historic hotel.
A walk to discover the tradition of the Tschäggättä, the iconic masked figures of the region, will work up our appetite for a delicious gourmet dinner. Yum!

A WILD ALPINE PASS AT 2,600 METRES
A series of playful trails gets the day off to a great start before we switch things up with a ride on a panoramic train! A welcome break before the challenge of the day.
An alpine pass at 2,600 metres opens the door to the unspoiled Binntal Valley. From there, it’s time to slow down and enjoy a peaceful evening in a charming mountain refuge.
What a magical place!

An unforgettable experience from start to finish! The Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt is far more than an MTB trip, it's a true alpine adventure. Over 7 incredible days we rode 287 km, climbed more than 12,300 meters, and experienced everything the Alps have to offer: spectacular mountain passes, glaciers, bike parks, endless singletracks, technical rock gardens, flowing descents, steep climbs, forests, rivers, and breathtaking scenery at every turn.
Have just finished the Chamonix to Zermatt Haute route with E Alps. It was a fantastic trip. Our guides Clement and Gaspar were brilliant. They taught us new skills, encouraged us to try new things and made us laugh! Eduardo prepared great food each day and made the logistics of looking after clients seem easy. The Hotels we stayed in were good ( la Sage and Bella Tolla were fantastic), the scenery was incredibly beautiful but the guides were the cherry on the cake!
I cannot say enough about the extraordinary experience we had on the Friends and Family Haute Route mountain bike trip with E-Alps. Our guides, Boris and Elise, were truly exceptional. Their deep local knowledge brought the stunning Swiss Alps to life in a way that only true experts can, enriching every moment of the journey with fascinating insights and insider tips. What impressed me most was their incredible effort and dedication throughout the trip. They skillfully adapted and improvised routes and plans to meet the unique needs and preferences of each participant, ensuring everyone felt supported and challenged in just the right way.
