Haute Route Chamonix-Zermatt by e-bike

Before getting the adventure started, we will have a pre-trip briefing. You’ll receive your e-bikes or rental e-MTBs.

We recommend arriving a few days earlier to account for unforeseen issues, especially if you travel overseas. This will enable you to get some rest before the adventure and enjoy the spectacular Chamonix Valley.

Let the adventure of a lifetime begin!

We will start on scenic trails, overlooking the majestic Mont Blanc and meandering through UNESCO vineyards to the heart of the Swiss Alps, where we will end the day.

We’ll spend the night at a cozy barn, enjoying a delicious home-cooked dinner.

Distance cycled: 42 km (last ascent optional)

Elevation: 2,665 m

Descent: 2,250 m

Technical difficulty: 2

We’ll begin the day with a superb flow trail to warm us up. You’ll then have a chance to practice your e-MTB switchback skills, zig-zagging your way down thrilling singletrack. After a long scenic climb, a playful trail in the forest will bring us to Verbier, an enduro and freeride MTB mecca, where you can choose between a natural Alpine trail or the flowy blue track in the bike park. Both will put a smile on your face and bring you to the highest European mountain irrigation channel (‘bisse’).

This beautiful panoramic trail will take us to our lovely chalet, the best place to eat wild, local game.

Distance cycled: 45 km

Elevation: 1,800 m

Descent: 2,000 m

You’ll start the day with an exhilarating ride along an old ‘bisse’ (irrigation channel), which will test your balance. While there will be lots of flow, you can push yourself.

We’ll make our way down two beautiful descents through a breathtaking Alpine ridge and a sumptuous single-track trail. By the time we get to our beautiful hotel, you will have had your dose of adrenaline and a bucketload of fun – just in time to relax and enjoy some local delicacies.

Distance cycled: 45 km

Elevation: 1,800 m

Descent: 2,000 m

Don’t forget to have a hearty breakfast before today’s adventure. You’ll need plenty of energy for our climb to a mountain pass at 2,900 meters. Will you dare to do the whole climb on your e-bike?

Our reward will be a well-deserved panoramic descent with spectacular views of glaciers and snow-capped peaks at 4,000 m.

We will end the day in the iconic Weisshorn Hotel, enjoying a relaxing hammam session, fresh local produce, and the best after-ride terrace views!

Distance cycled: 35km

Elevation: 1,000m

Descent: 2,650m

Another memorable day awaits! A playful descent, with 1,800 meters of vertical drop, will surely wake you up and get you grinning ear-to-ear.

A feast of flow trails will be on the menu today, and after a final climb, we will arrive at our private Alpine hut. What better way to end a long ride than in an outdoor hot tub with a cold beer with spectacular Alpine views?

We promise this isn’t a dream!

Distance cycled: 50 km

Elevation: 1,400 m

Descent: 1,200 m

Our final day will close with a flourish: superb, playful trails with incredible views of Alpine landscapes, taking us to the foot of the iconic Matterhorn. We’ll relax and reminisce about our epic e-MTB adventure at a beautiful spa hotel in Zermatt.

Congratulations, we did it!

What to do: one last ride with views of the Matterhorn before leaving, or admiring this iconic summit from a terrace with a warm cup of coffee? If you still have some batteries left, we strongly recommend the first option of superb singletrack trails and idyllic views.
