Crans-Montana, Valais, Switzerland
Day 0 : Crans-Montana
Welcome to the Balcony of the Alps
You’ve arrived in Crans Montana, a spectacular plateau overlooking some of the most beautiful peaks in the Alps. The Matterhorn, Dent Blanche, Weisshorn, Zinalrothorn... can you 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!

Day 3 : Lötschental - Binntal
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!

Day 4 : Binntal - UNESCO ALETSCH GLACIER
RIDE TO THE UNESCO ALETSCH GLACIER
Today, we head toward one of the most breathtaking glaciers in the Alps, the Aletsch Glacier, the largest and longest glacier in the Alps. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a fascinating glimpse into the geological history of the high Alps.
We take our time to appreciate this natural wonder as we ride along the ridge overlooking the glacier. A truly magical moment, followed by an evening surrounded by a spectacular alpine panorama. Before you, some of the most iconic peaks in the Alps!

From the Mountains to the Rhône Valley
After a coffee on the terrace, we get back on the bikes and make the most of a beautiful descent into the Rhône Valley. As we lose elevation, the landscape gradually changes and a new chapter of the journey begins. From here, our adventure continues toward the Zermatt region, where the mountains get bigger and the Matterhorn gets closer.

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.

Remarkable trip for 4 dads with sons. Guiding. Route. Hotels. Pic Nic's and support all first class. We all had a great experience despite some variation on the riding backgrounds. Soren. Eli and Fabio made great efforts to accommodate us professionally at all times. The team in the office should be super impressed with their guide selection for the trails selected
Absolute Perfection in the Alps – An Unforgettable Adventure! This was the ultimate way to experience the Swiss Alps on two wheels. Our E-mountain bike trip was nothing short of spectacular, from the jaw-dropping panoramic views to the flawless execution of the entire tour.
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.
