Haute Route E-MTB Trip: Pedal Your Way to Zermatt

Completing the iconic Haute Route can be both electrifying and electrified—if you add an e-bike to the mix! Start in the shadow of Mont Blanc and spend 5 or 7 days pedaling your way to the foot of Matterhorn—crossing dozens of miles with everything from playful singletrack descents to lush pine forests; from thrilling Alpine ridges to picnics beside crystalline lakes. With an e-bike, reaching high mountain passes will neither deter you from enjoying panoramic vistas of snow-capped peaks, nor stop you from immersing yourself in the rich Alpine culture of France and Switzerland. The best thing is, you’re in for an all-inclusive e-MTB experience from the first pedal stroke to the final bite of your après-bike meal. Join your expert guide and ride from lofty cols to valley floors, from Chamonix to Zermatt—in the very heart of the Alps!
