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.

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

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.
