With over 800km of bike paths, Verbier and the surrounding Val de Bagnes is a great spot for an active getaway in autumn.
The Swiss resort is best known for its tough ski slopes, but outside snow season, it’s so good for bikers. If you don’t feel fit enough for uphill trails, an electric bike is a perfect solution.
What is e-biking?
E-bikes, or electric bikes, are bicycles with an electric motor that gives the rider an extra boost. You can use the motor in different settings, to ride much faster than normal, to power up those steep slopes, or to balance out the different abilities of riders within a group.
Don’t worry though, if you’re keen to get your heart pumping, you can still use it as a normal bike without any boost too.
Something I liked about e-biking is that it felt accessible regardless of your fitness level. In my group, we had someone who had never cycled before and someone in their 70s. But we were still able to ride as a group thanks to the help of the motors.
