In winter time, safety = Guided tour.

The snow, the ice, the early falling night, the slopes and trails with no signs… Riding a bike in the winter and on snow is different from riding it in the summer in classical trails. So let’s change the saying and we can assure you: Better to be well accompanied than alone! We highly recommend taking a guided tour.

FOLLOW OUR INSTRUCTORS TO ACCESS THE TRAILS ADAPTED TO RIDING AN E-MTB BIKE ON SNOW.

The ideal VTTAE to learn about the pleasures of riding off-road with electric assistance.

  • The rental of an Full-suspension Electric Mountain Bike Enduro (750Wh Bosch battery)
  • Rental of an adult Enduro helmet and gloves
  • Adjustment of the bike before the rental departure

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Unlike motorbikes, an e-bike is still a bike. The engine accompanies the movement of the legs but does not replace it.

For kids from 8 years old or 1m35 height. For grown-ups, the only limit is the one you set to yourself ;)

It is highly recommended to book. In summertime and weekends, it is recommended to book one week in advance to make sure to have the right size of bike on your desired date. Apart from that time, it is necessary to book because we only open on demand.

Of course. Our office is closed during the week in the spring and fall, but we are always available by phone or email. Apart from week-ends, give us a call 48hours in advance preferably, and we will deliver the bikes to you.

The delivery is offered in the Aravis for a minimum of 4 bikes at 10€/bike.

Our electric mountain bikes are new and high quality, therefore we take a bank deposit of 1000€ per bike rental.

  • You will sign a Rental Contract (explaining the rules to follow and the prices in case of damage on the bike). You have a look at our Good Mannered Rider’s guide to ensure your riding is respectful of the mountain and the rental material.
  • You can choose to take the Marmotte Futée Insurance to cover damage up to 90%. If you wish not to take this Insurance, make sure you are coved with your Credit Card (Gold card and above only cover bike rental) or your Personal Insurance.
  • You pay for the estimated rental time. If you return the bike later than expected, you will pay the difference.

Well, you accepted the risk to try out e-MTB. Now you can take a loyalty card from us and just enjoy!
