The Classic Haute Route :
Chamonix to Zermatt Guided MTB & E-MTB
The Ultimate Alpine Traverse

Whether you choose the full Chamonix to Zermatt (5-7 days) or the intense Verbier to Zermatt (4 days) route, we manage every detail. From luggage transfers and battery logistics to securing the best beds in remote alpine villages, your only job is to ride.

Advantage
E-Bike Optimized Logistics
We don't just 'allow' E-bikes; we cater to them. Our itineraries include strategic lunch stops for charging, technical climbs that maximize your motor's torque, and battery management advice so you never run dry before the summit.
Local Variations (The "Secret Sauce")

Concierge Support
Ride light. We transfer your luggage between hotels every day. If you have a mechanical issue, our guides are trained mechanics, and we have support networks in the valleys to keep your bike rolling
