      Keep in mind that this Tour du Mont Blanc e-bike tour takes place in the mountains, where the weather is unpredictable. Therefore, it’s important to have enough warm clothes and some waterproof layers—there’s no bad weather, only bad clothes!

    • Yes! To make your Tour du Mont Blanc e-bike adventure as hassle free as possible, your guides offer e-MTB rental.

      The model offered is FLYER Uproc EVO:X 8.7, a premium Swiss-designed e-enduro bike built for powerful climbs and confident handling on technical descents. When renting a bike with your guide, two 750W batteries per day are also included.

        • Frame & geometry — Lightweight carbon frame with a flip-chip system and a 64° head angle for precise downhill control.
        • Motor & battery — Bosch Performance Line CX motor (85 Nm) and a 750 Wh integrated battery for long-range rides.
        • Suspension & wheels — FOX 38 Float Performance fork and FOX Float X2 rear shock with 170 mm travel. Mullet setup: 29″ front for stability, 27.5″ rear for agility.
        • Riding character — A well-balanced e-enduro bike offering efficient climbing and stable descending.
        • Approx. weight: 26 kg, depending on size and setup.

      Protective gear is essential for this trip. You may fall at least once, and even a single fall can lead to injury. Elbow and knee pads are strongly recommended to help prevent potential harm!

      If you’re bringing your own bike, make sure it is full suspension and serviced for maximum enjoyment during the adventure. A second battery is also necessary as the trip stages are long and the Alps are steep!

    • Your guides don’t recommend it. Completing this route in seven days—45–50 km (25-31 mi) and 2,700 m (8,860 ft) of climbing per day—is nearly impossible unless you’re an elite athlete. But that’s not the goal.

      After testing both regular and e-bikes, your guides found e-bikes are the best way to experience the Tour du Mont Blanc: climbs become fun, descents still rewarding, and there’s more time to enjoy the Alps and connect with the group.

      With adjustable modes, e-bikes keep everyone together and let you choose between challenge and support—making the journey both epic and enjoyable!
