Full description
Val Ferret or Val Veny? Why choose when you can experience both in one day?
On this e-MTB excursion at the foot of Mont Blanc, you'll pass through mountain villages, silent pastures and dirt roads surrounded by the Alps' most iconic giants of rock and ice.
You'll start in Courmayeur and ride up one of the two valleys, until you reach a mountain hut with panoramic views, where you can catch your breath and fill your eyes with beauty. What are you waiting for?
What we will do
The meeting is at 9.30 a.m. in the Courmayeur area, where our guide will be waiting for us. After a brief introduction to the use of the e-bikes - all latest-generation full suspended bikes, perfect for tackling unpaved sections with maximum comfort - we're off!
We will start the ride by passing through two of the most characteristic villages in the area, Entrèves and La Saxe, and then take the route that will lead us towards Val Ferret or Val Veny, depending on weather conditions and the level of the group.
The tour is a loop of around 30 km, with an altitude difference of 1,200 metres, but thanks to the power of the e-bikes and the relaxed pace, you will be able to enjoy every stretch of the route without stress. The ascent winds through larch groves, white roads, mule tracks and alpine pastures, always accompanied by spectacular views of the glaciers and peaks of Mont Blanc.
During the ascent, we will stop for short stops until we reach Rifugio Elena (or Rifugio Elisabetta, depending on availability), a panoramic viewpoint and final stage on the way. Here there will be time for a snack or a packed lunch, depending on what has been agreed with the guide.
After lunch we will resume the tour, following an alternative loop route: the descent is along mule tracks and mountain paths, through wide valleys and silent forests. It is the most enjoyable time of the day, when the legs relax and the landscape changes as the light begins to warm.
Before returning, we will treat ourselves to a quick snack in Entrèves, just to end on a high note, and we will return to the starting point with flat batteries only on the e-bike. The experience lasts about 5 hours, but may vary depending on the level of the group.
