Bring a light windproof layer
Valley winds and spray from glacier-fed lakes can be chilly even on sunny days; a compact windbreaker keeps you comfortable during lakeside stops.
Use hybrid or closed shoes
Trails include gravel and short wet sections—closed shoes with grip make mounting, dismounting, and short walks safe.
Charge your phone and bring a small power bank
You’ll want photos and an emergency contact method; group size is small but signal can be spotty in the valley.
Watch for slick gravel after rain
E-bike torque is forgiving, but take corners slowly on wet gravel and follow your guide’s line.
Closed-toe shoes with tread
Provide grip on gravel and stability when stepping off the bike for photo stops.
Light windproof jacket
Protects against valley winds and lakeside spray during mid-ride stops.
Small daypack or hip pack
Carries water, layers, and your camera while keeping hands free for the handlebars.
Portable phone charger
Useful for photos and navigation when signal is intermittent.
