RIDE ON A SUPERBE ALPINE RIDGE

AN ALPINE PASS AT 2,900 METRES OF ALTITUDE!
This morning, don’t forget to enjoy a hearty breakfast. Our first climb will take us up to a mountain pass at 2,900 meters – who will manage the entire ascent on their e-bike? The well-deserved descent offers stunning views of an Alpine paradise, surrounded by majestic 4,000-meter peaks.
The second ascent of the day leads to a historic hotel nestled in a charming Swiss Alpine village. Once there, you can choose to unwind on the terrace with breathtaking views or relax in the spa. Either way, it’s the perfect way to relax after an epic day of riding! :)
