In the mountains, the electric bike is a winner!

May 19, 2025

Whether it's electric bikes, mountain bikes, or hybrid bikes, electric bikes have truly taken over the mountains. Dedicated trails are multiplying in the Chamonix Valley.

…and the accommodations are equipped

Everyone has understood that it is better for our planet, its ecological survival –and for our health!- to travel on two wheels rather than by car.

A small battery can be essential, especially in the mountains. More and more accommodations are equipped with charging stations where multiple electric bikes can be plugged in.

The many routes in the Chamonix Valley

…Like those that connect the village of Lavancher to Argentière along the Arve or via the North balcony. Others routes particularly dedicated to mountain biking downhill runs that can be accessed using ski lifts: for example, in the Tour area, Col de Balme du Brévent. 

A growing craze

While it is true that this craze for cycling, and then electric cycling, started in urban areas where it represents 40% of electric means of transport sold for obvious reasons, it was not long before it became a hit in the mountains because its advantages are considerable!

You can happily climb steep hills and discover the beauty of mountain landscapes with an effort adapted to each individual...

to discover at Lavancher the Chalet Hotel Jeu de Paume equipped with a charging station and starting point for dedicated VAE trails
