The best part of this Alps bike tour is that it’s designed for both intermediate and advanced riders! Each day, you’ll tackle routes suited to your level with an expert guide, then regroup in the evening at the same destination. Just be sure you fit the requirements for one of the levels.

Intermediate riders
This group is for riders with solid fitness and e-bike experience who prefer a more moderate pace. You can comfortably handle up to 1,400 m (4,600 ft) of climbing on forest roads with a 600 Wh battery. Easy singletrails, wide hiking paths, and even steep forest roads are no problem. You know when to get off the bike and can realistically assess your ability.

Advanced & expert riders
This tour is designed for bikers with solid skills up to expert level. You are confident riding technical singletrails in the Alps and know when it’s better to get off and push. Trails are mainly official hiking routes where biking is permitted—these can be narrow, exposed, rooty, or covered with loose rocks. While total elevation gains are moderate, alpine ascents still require good fitness and technique. Most sections correspond to S2 difficulty on the Singletrail Scale—in the USA typically considered “expert.”
