ARRIVAL IN CHAMONIX

Are you travelling from afar to get to France? If so, we strongly suggest that you arrive a few days early, to avoid any potential problems due to unforeseen travel circumstances, and to give yourself some time to recover before the e-bike Alpine adventure begins.

The extra time will also allow you to make the most of the magical place that is Chamonix!

Day 1: Chamonix - Verbier

RIDE AT THE FOOT OF THE MONT BLANC

We’re off for the adventure of a lifetime!

The first day takes place on playful single trails guaranteed to put a smile on your face. The views of the Mont Blanc are just exceptional, as are the UNESCO-registered vineyards overlooking the Rhône Valley.

We’ll end the day in the heart of the Swiss Alps at Hôtel de Verbier!

Day 2: Verbier - Nendaz

WELCOME TO VERBIER, THE MECCA OF E-MOUNTAIN BIKING

After a delicious breakfast, we'll head up to the top of Verbier, the mecca of e-mountain biking, to warm up on some of the trails of the bike park. And while we’re there, why not make the most of some of the best trails?

Following an unforgettable downhill ride, a scenic mountain trail will guide us to our next stop in Nendaz. Get your swimsuit ready – the spa awaits! Relax in the hot tub and take in the stunning views, but don’t worry, this won’t be the last breathtaking sight you'll experience!

Day 3: Nendaz - Val D’Hérens

RIDE ON A SUPERBE ALPINE RIDGE

The day kicks off with an uphill climb, but don’t worry – what goes up must come down!

Next, we'll tackle two incredible descents: one along a stunning alpine ridge and another on a seemingly endless singletrack trail that winds through a soft bed of pine needles, giving us the perfect adrenaline rush before reaching our hotel. This architectural gem offers a cozy, traditional living space – just the spot to relax and reflect on the amazing day we've shared.

Day 4: Val D’Hérens - Val d’Anniviers

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! :)

GET YOUR BREAK PADS READY!

We kick off the day with an incredible descent of more than 2,000 meters of

vertical drop : one that will undoubtedly make it onto the podium of the best

rides of your life. Technical sections, tight switchbacks, smooth berms, pine

forests, loose rocks... this trail has it all, and it just keeps coming.

CHASING THE MATTERHORN!

We did it. Congratulations!

We’ll end the e-bike adventure in a wonderful spa hotel in Zermatt, facing one of the most beautiful peaks in the Alps. Take the time to relax your muscles and reminisce about the past six incredible days.

Day 7: Zermatt

ONE LAST RIDE IN ZERMATT?

You’ve got two options this morning: make the most of one last ride facing the Matterhorn, or relax with a coffee on a terrace? If your legs are up for it, we recommend the first option. Incredible landscapes, mythical trails and views of the Matterhorn from every angle will allow you to end the trip on a high note.

It’s already time to go home, with a smile on our faces and the memories of an incredible alpine adventure in our minds.

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.

2 years ago, it was a dream and now it is the greatest adventure in my life. A big hand to the group leaders Christian and Elise who know the area and helped us make decisions to see and do, as well as to take part in a trail system that is something that took them many years to learn.
