Fancy a carbon-neutral adventure in the heart of nature? Come and try out the new electric mountain bikes!
Leave the noise of the city and the traffic behind, and immerse yourself in the wild nature of the Gran Paradiso National Park: you’ll be able to enjoy breathtaking views effortlessly and responsibly!
A small but significant revolution on two wheels: with e-MTBs, anyone can tackle the challenging trails of Gran Paradiso without needing any special training; the electric motor fitted to the bikes allows you to tackle steep climbs as if you were cycling on flat ground.
Any technical details? The mountain bikes have a range varying from 40 km uphill to over 100 km on flat terrain, weigh less than 20 kg and are fitted with hydraulic disc brakes and suspension forks. Lightweight and practical, they’re therefore ideal for getting around in mountainous terrain.
Bicycle hire is free of charge and reserved for holders of the Fondation Grand Paradis Pass (for the full terms and conditions of hire, see the regulations attached to this page).
What are you waiting for? Discover just how eco-friendly – and, above all, exhilarating – cycling in the mountains on e-MTBs can be: a unique experience that’s accessible to everyone!
E-MTBs are available by reservation. To book a bike, simply register at the accreditation points listed below.
