One word: WoW!!!!

Marjolaine Daviau (source: Google Reviews)

Exemplary organization, dream trails and landscapes, enchanting accommodation, tasty meals… A super dynamic team, always attentive, focusing on safety and offering constant technical support. The guides know how to adapt to everyone’s level. I did the Haute route des 3 pays (countries) and I was not disappointed by the technical level, challenges as I like them but well balanced, alternating with panoramic roads and walks through small villages. I’m already dreaming of a next adventure with E-Alps!! A big thank you to the whole team!!

Kim Kircher (source: Google Reviews)

From the planning to the last day of the trip, the team from E-Alps exceeded my expectations. Thank you for providing an amazing experience, great accommodations, well organized biking days and fantastic guides. Adrian, Vincent, Dylan, Alex and Karina were all amazing—providing tips, expertise, enthusiasm, amazing food, and great vibes. I would highly recommend E-Alps for a 5 Star experience in the mountains.

the Haute Route on mountain e-bikes with e-Alps is a “once in a life time” experience. I was impressed by the 5 * service. everything just worked ; the scenic & challenging bike trails, the lodging, the picnics, the rental mountain bikes… but especially the guides with their personalised tips & help with each & every participant. will definitely join again to try another route.

Amazing trip and experience.
