Do you have a favourite trail/route? Why?
Perhaps Gentianes – Dahu – Le Chable trail network. The trail starts at the bottom of Mont Fort glacier at 2900m. Most of the summer months you can make a snowball, and there is a good chance you will spot a group of chamois and marmottes on the way down to Dahu. Dahu is a high alpine pasture, where you will ride pass herds of Hérens cows – An ancient cow breed that can be found only in this unique corner of Switzerland, beautiful springs and small natural lakes. You can refresh yourself at Cabane MontFort and treat yourself with a traditional Valasian plate and enjoy majestic views of surrounding 4000m high glaciers massifs. Riding down from Dahu, the trail will lead you through pastures, hidden 100-year-old alpine villages and pine forests. Why is our personal favorite? There is a plenty of trail combinations to pick that take you down to the valley, that run right next to each other from easy to expert.
E-bikes seem to be ever more popular; What makes it so great?
We recommend e-bike to those who would like to explore more, pedal further and ride higher. The e-bikes instantly give you an endurance of a pro athlete. One of our clients in his 70s said he feels like he is 30 again, and he would have never thought he will be able to go for a 60 km mountain biking tour.
