About this tour

What to expect
You'll start with a brief hands-on introduction to the e-bike's motor assistance and braking. Then you head into the woods, climbing steadily through mixed terrain—some technical sections, some flowing. The motor takes the sting out of uphills without removing the work entirely. You'll stop at viewpoints overlooking the Aiguilles and glaciers, then drop through switchback sections where good line choice matters. The descent tests your new skills. Expect to be moving for most of the three hours with minimal standing-around time.
Good to know
Bring warm, weatherproof layers and a rain jacket—mountain weather shifts fast. The ride demands solid fitness and balance; it's not beginner-friendly. Avoid if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Public transport reaches Chamonix easily. Carry your own water.
