  • Elevation gain between 1,800 m to 2,400 m (5,900–7,900 ft)

Yes. The e-MTB makes long climbs far more enjoyable and opens up bigger terrain without exhausting you, but you’ll still need solid bike handling skills on the downhills. If you regularly ride intermediate trails and enjoy technical variety, you’ll thrive here.

Because the Alps can be technically challenging in some sections, it’s recommended that you regularly practice mountain biking for at least half a year, or engage in sports frequently. 

This journey is about building on the skills you already have and putting them to work in some of the most spectacular mountain terrain in Europe.

Here’s a list of the equipment you need to bring:

• • Day pack large enough to fit everything you might need throughout the day (around a 25-40L bag) — van support / luggage transfer is available!
  • Water bottle or hydration bladder (2L capacity)
  • Cycling shoes
  • Comfortable cycling clothes 
  • Spare clothes for layering
  • Waterproof rain jacket
  • Sunhat
  • Toiletries (sunscreen, hand sanitizer, bug spray, tissues, etc.)
  • Headlamp or flashlight
  • Sunglasses
  • Camera — optional (but recommended)

Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.
