About this tour

You'll start with bike setup and handling basics in Megève, then ride through shifting landscape—dense pine forests, alpine meadows, and technical descents suited to your ability. The motor handles elevation gain; you control pace and effort. Stops built in for photos and a mountain picnic if you fancy it.

What to expect
You'll begin at Le Jaillet in Megève with a thorough orientation to the e-bike—how the motor engages, battery management, and basic handling on varied ground. Once confident, you'll climb into open Alpine country, the motor assisting as you navigate through evergreen forests and across exposed ridges. The riding mixes technical sections with rolling passages; descents are manageable but engaging. Expect regular photo stops to take in Mont Blanc and the wider massif. A midday break offers time to eat and rest; many riders bring their own supplies to eat on a high meadow.
Good to know
Bring a waterproof jacket and windbreaker—weather changes fast above 1500 metres. Pack your own water and snacks; sun protection essential at altitude. Moderate fitness required; spinal, cardiovascular, or pregnancy concerns make this unsuitable. Nearest public transport available if needed.
