Chamonix Mont-Blanc E-Bike Tour: Alpine Ride from Geneva to Aiguille du Midi

The Experience
Before You Go
Charge before you ride
Ensure both your phone and the e‑bike battery are fully charged; battery range varies with assist level and elevation gain.
Dress in layers
Mountain weather can shift quickly — pack a windproof midlayer and a lightweight rain shell even on warm days.
Hydrate and refuel
Carry at least 1–1.5 liters of water and snacks; village cafés are good for longer stops but can be spaced by 10–20 km.
Practice basic bike handling
If you’re new to e‑bikes, test braking and throttle on a flat road before tackling valley gradients and narrow lanes.
