The program
Chamonix, France
Day 0: Chamonix-Mont-Blanc
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 - Champex-Lac
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 that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. The views of the Mont Blanc are just exceptional, as are the UNESCO registered vineyards that we’ll cross.
We’ll end the day in the heart of the Swiss Alps, in a traditional renovated barn, ready to enjoy some delicious home cooking. What a great day!

WELCOME TO VERBIER, THE MECCA OF E-MOUNTAIN BIKING
A superb path over a carpet of pine needles will warm us up in the morning. Next, we’ll head towards Verbier, the mecca of e-mountain biking. While we’re there, why not make the most of some of the best trails? A mountain trail will lead us to our chalet in the middle of a forest of ancient pine trees. Enjoy the superb view on the terrace, but don’t worry, it won’t be the last!

The second ascent of the day will bring us to a hidden gem of the Swiss Alps, the Weisshorn Hotel, offering unique panoramic views from the terrace, the best place to relax after the day’s ride.

We promise this isn’t a dream!

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. Next time, why not try the UNESCO Haute Route?
