The Haute Route has lived in the imagination of mountain travelers for decades.
Stretching from Chamonix to Zermatt, it’s long been considered one of the Alps’ great crossings.
First skied, then hiked, and only recently, thoughtfully ridden!
In this LIVE WEBINAR, you’ll go behind the scenes with local mountain specialists who helped pioneer the Haute Route as a multi-day e-MTB journey.
This route was never designed for bikes, and that’s exactly what makes it fascinating. Through careful planning, local knowledge, and years of trial and refinement, they’ve shaped a way to ride it that’s challenging, rewarding, and realistic.
You’ll dive into what’s actually possible on an e-MTB, from high passes and remote valleys to hut nights, battery management, and the rhythm of moving through the Alps day after day.
If you’ve ever wondered whether riding the Haute Route could truly work, this is your chance to get clear, honest answers straight from the people who know it best.
Join us and discover how one of the Alps’ most iconic routes became rideable!
