Forest Loop:
Lakes, Alpine Pastures and Easy Progression
This opening ride is designed as a smooth and scenic introduction to Crans-Montana and its surroundings. Starting near Lake Moubra, the route leads through the resort before climbing progressively towards the alpine pastures via Arnouvaz and Signal, creating a day that feels varied, accessible and immediately rewarding. The terrain alternates between asphalt, dirt tracks and forest trails, offering a gentle but engaging first immersion into the landscapes above the Rhône Valley.
Beyond the riding itself, the day already introduces the regional identity that makes Crans-Montana distinctive. Stops along the way may include the Corbyre alpine pasture, where guests can discover local cheese production and enjoy a more authentic encounter with the mountain culture of the Valais. The return through Courtavey, Plumachit and Barzettes keeps the route dynamic while preserving a relaxed overall rhythm, making this first day both elegant and approachable.
Tièche Valley:
Wild Nature and High Alpine Views
The second day reveals a more dramatic side of the region, with a ride towards the preserved landscapes of the Tièche Valley and the mountain setting of Aminona. Compared with the previous day, the atmosphere here becomes more open and more intensely alpine, with wide unpaved trails, a stronger sense of elevation and impressive views over some of the highest peaks of the Valais Alps. It is a ride that gives guests a fuller sense of the scale and beauty of the region.
Although the route remains accessible by e-bike, it offers a more adventurous tone, with sections that feel wilder and more immersive. Along the way, possible stops such as Cave du Scex or Restaurant Plumachit add a welcome moment of pause within the day, allowing guests to enjoy the experience not only as a ride, but as a complete alpine outing. This balance between natural power, comfort and discovery is what gives the day its particular character.
Cultural Discovery:
Villages, Lakes and Local Heritage
After two days focused more strongly on mountain scenery, the third itinerary brings guests closer to the cultural and village life of the region. The route passes through Randogne, Mollens, Loc, Chermignon-d’en-Bas, Lens and Icogne, following quieter roads and more intimate landscapes that reveal Crans-Montana beyond the resort itself. This day has a gentler energy, but it is no less rich in atmosphere or in regional identity.
What makes this stage especially appealing is its variety: traditional villages, scenic lake areas, local cafés and heritage-rich settings all contribute to a more grounded and authentic understanding of the destination. Rather than relying only on big alpine panoramas, the day invites guests to experience the rhythm of the Valais through its built heritage, rural character and quieter corners. It is an elegant reminder that the appeal of Crans-Montana lies as much in its villages and history as in its mountain scenery.
Alpine Escape:
Wine Hamlets, Panoramic Paths and Thermal Relaxation
The final day ties together several of the region’s most appealing contrasts. The route heads towards the hamlet of Chiboz and the Randonnaz alpine pasture, where panoramic views over the Rhône Valley become particularly striking. From there, the itinerary passes through the Valais wine hamlets of Euloz and Buitonnaz, adding a softer and more cultivated dimension to the mountain experience.
This combination of alpine scenery, vineyard landscapes and traditional hamlets gives the day a particularly satisfying rhythm, at once scenic and rooted in place. The descent towards Saillon offers a more relaxed finish, with the possibility of ending the day in the resort’s well-known thermal setting. As a closing stage, it works especially well: it leaves guests with a final impression of variety, elegance and regional richness, rather than simply ending on physical effort alone.

Rhône Valley:
Between Art and Wineries
This first ride introduces guests to a different side of the Verbier region, where the grandeur of the mountains gives way to the softer landscapes of the Rhône Valley. Starting from Le Châble, the route heads towards Martigny through a landscape shaped by vineyards, historic villages and river views, creating a day that already sets the tone for the journey: scenic, cultured and deeply rooted in the region.
Along the way, guests meet local wine specialists and discover some of the Valais’ most emblematic varietals, including crisp Chasselas whites and structured Pinot Noir reds, through a carefully curated tasting. The day then continues with a cultural stop at the Fondation Gianadda, a prestigious venue known for its exhibitions, sculpture gardens and vintage car collection. Depending on the preferred pace, the final return can either be enjoyed as a scenic ride back towards Verbier or as a more relaxed private transfer to the hotel.
Champex-Lac:
Alpine Lake Serenity and Fine Lunch
A landmark stop on the Tour du Mont Blanc, Champex-Lac offers a quieter and more contemplative mountain experience. Set at 1,470 metres in the heart of the Valais Alps, the village is surrounded by forests, peaks and a crystal-clear lake, creating one of the most peaceful and photogenic atmospheres of the region.
The approach to Champex can vary with the season and the chosen route, making the experience feel both flexible and tailored. In summer, riders may cross via Bruson using lifts before descending towards Orsières, while at other times the ride follows valley roads and forest tracks before climbing towards the lake. Once there, the reward is immediate: guests can enjoy the lakeside atmosphere, a possible swim, a walk, or lunch with a view — from a refined table such as the 5-star Chalet Alpin to more relaxed local options. The return offers two distinct moods: one route through La Garde and Sembrancher for a more scenic and traditional alpine feel, and another via Bruson / La Cot for those seeking a more dynamic finish with exhilarating descents.
Val de Bagnes:
High-Alpine Landscapes and Wild Nature
This is the day when the journey shifts into something more dramatic and memorable. Riding into the high Val de Bagnes, guests follow the impressive road from Le Châble towards the Mauvoisin Dam, passing through tunnels carved into the rock and landscapes that feel increasingly remote, mineral and powerful. It is one of those routes that immediately conveys the scale of the Alps.
Beyond the lake, stronger riders can continue even further towards the Cabane Chanrion, a mountain hut recently renovated and set against a stunning glacier backdrop. The day is not only about scenery but also about wildlife and atmosphere: it is possible to spot ibex, chamois, golden eagles and, with a bit of luck, even the vast silhouette of a bearded vulture overhead. The roads remain generally quiet, which makes the ride feel both immersive and serene. After the ascent, the return becomes pure pleasure, with a long downhill section back towards Le Châble, making this one of the most satisfying and cinematic days of the whole programme.
Great St Bernard:
A Legendary Alpine Pass
The final day brings together everything that makes this journey distinctive: history, altitude, alpine heritage and exceptional scenery. Rising to 2,469 metres, the Great St Bernard Pass is one of Europe’s most legendary mountain crossings, linking Switzerland and Italy and carrying centuries of stories, pilgrims and travellers through the Alps.
At the summit stands the iconic Great St Bernard Hospice, founded in the 11th century by Saint Bernard of Menthon. More than a historic stop, it remains a living place of welcome and continuity, where guests can explore the monastery, chapel and traditions that have shaped this pass for centuries. The route itself begins in Bruson, following quiet forest roads and gradually climbing into a world of pines, open mountain views and increasingly dramatic scenery. By the time guests reach the hospice, the experience feels far bigger than a ride: it becomes a true passage through the cultural and spiritual history of the Alps.
