The first pedal stroke comes as the valley exhales. You roll away from the kiosk behind the Folie Douce hotel with the Aiguilles slicing the sky ahead and the lower glaciers glinting like old coins. For three hours an electric motor hums beneath you, steady as a second heart, lifting the climb and letting you save energy for the parts that matter—the narrow forest singletrack, the cattle-trod pasture sections, the instant when ice water from a torrent dares you to pause and listen.

Adventure Tips
Hydrate before and during the ride
Mountain air is dry and the motor masks effort—carry at least 1.5 L of water and sip regularly.
Wear layered, windproof clothing
Temperatures change fast; pack a lightweight shell and a warm midlayer for high-elevation gusts.
Bring a small snack
Energy bars or gels help maintain power on longer climbs when you want to push your effort.
Follow guide instructions on technical sections
Guides set lines for a reason—stay behind them on loose rock and fast descents to avoid accidents and trail damage.
