Overview

Alps Mont Blanc Bike Tours | Escape Adventures At least 10 guests are needed in order to run this tour.

Our Mount Blanc Tour, drops into the three countries, Switzerland, France and Italy that share Europe’s greatest mountain range: the 50-mile long, 100-mile wide, 15,777-ft Mount Blanc.

From sleek, modern resorts at Chamonix and Courmayeur, to wonderfully preserved 19^th century high alpine chalets, our trip is a high altitude delight.

Shadowing and interpreting some of the seven valleys, 71 glaciers and 400 summits that encompass the tour, we flashback to many iconic James Bond backdrops. Where the Alps taper north to Lake Geneva, we ride routes first used by Roman messengers until the 5^th century AD, when that empire departed the region. It is here that Benedict de Saussure, a Swiss physicist first coined the term, “geology” while assaying Mont Blanc and adjacent Matterhorn. The same trails we follow, in and around otherworldly blue icefields and the broad massif of Blanc also ushered in modern mountaineering; and reflexively, the first generation of 19^th century alpine guides.

In sum, this thoroughly upper alpine tour, from a smart Alps-riding clinic—at the onset—to the challenging climbs – to the absolutely staggering views of Europe’s roof, wrapped in rich alpine history is nothing less than five-star mountain biking.

Day 1-2: Meet at Geneva airport; transfer to Chamonix (France; pop. 9300, elevation, 3396-ft). Decompress, post-flight, at the evening’s chalet, adjacent to Mont Blanc: Western Europe’s highest peak. The next two days of riding we reach Martigny: a Swiss canton of 15,000. Skimming glaciers and snowy summits, our days culminate at postcard perfect backdrops on the Italian side of Mont Blanc.
Day 3-4: Climb the Grand Col Ferret, one of the three major col-passes on our tour. Atop the col we view Mont Blanc—or now, Monte Bianco—from the northwest. Ride into la Lechere, a 12^th century French agricultural village, built around both a spa as well as the ruins of a 9^th century castle. Linked by a superb singletrack, the days’ ride closes out at the ultra stylish Italian resort of Courmayeur
Day 5-6: Ride over flower draped pastures along the French border. Climb to Cormet de Roseland, a high mountain pass between two French valleys then descend, via ridges and spines to Lac de Roselend. Ride over and into Col du Joly and the village of Les Contamines Montjoie. Ride the Col de Voza, and end back at Chamonix.
Day 7: Transfer to Geneva airport.

From our Guaranteed Trip Departure Confirmation Policy, making sure your trip is never cancelled*, to our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee Policy, backing the unrivaled consistent quality of all our tours, our commitment to you is never compromised. * Scheduled Domestic trips only.

Our Commitment to the Environment

Our environmental commitment is second to none. We run our tours the same way we run our company, with an eye on the triple bottom line: People, Profit & Planet. At Escape Adventures, we elected to pursue a more comprehensive approach to actually reduce our carbon footprint, rather than just offset it. We overhauled our entire operation — from our vehicles, to our buildings, to our procedures — to become an outdoor industry leader in the charge to help our people and our planet.

Exceptional Service and Exceptional Guides

Leading tours naturally followed from our passion of exploring our favorite places with our friends. Our support staff includes our reservation team who is there to answer your questions about the tours, our service team who prepares your bike and gear for the tour, and our guide team – the ones who take you into the great outdoors. The highest level of responsibility, good nature, integrity, and dedication are standard traits of all those who work at Escape Adventures. We our proud of it and we think you should know it.

The Best Support Vehicles

Having custom-made vehicles allows us to take you to places few other outfitters can, or will go. Every Escape Adventures tour is accompanied by at least one support vehicle, trailer, and in some cases a second and third transfer van. After purchase, we custom engineer our trucks, vans, and trailers by our on-staff mechanic to meet the unique needs of different tours. For example, certain trucks are specifically designed for The White Rim and The Maze, while others are designed for The Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Each of our guides is required to be trained in safe vehicle operation, 4X4 driving, and basic maintenance. Our experienced guides make it look easy, transporting you and up to 12 guests, along with their bikes, fresh food, and plenty of drinking water to a remote location.

The Best Bicycles and Gear

Make your trip as comfortable as possible on the body, as simple as possible for traveling, and hassle-free on tour. By choosing to rent a bike from us, we will fit you with the newest, highest quality gear in the industry. Escape Adventures provides only high-end bicycles from Santa Cruz and Specialized. We replace our rental fleet each season to ensure all our rentals meet our standards. All of our mountain bikes are equipped with full suspension frames and disc brakes designed for a smooth, comfortable ride. For those who are touring with a companion who may not be as fit or need a little help up the hills, we now have eMountainbikes (electric pedal assist) available on select tours.

The Best Food

Our food isn’t just good, it’s good for you.

Food is a big part of the Escape Adventures experience. Most dinners and breakfasts are served at local restaurants on our inn tours. We also have energy snacks aboard our support vehicles. Don’t be surprised if your guides purchase fresh fruits and healthy snacks throughout the day while you are out riding. They may just show up on the trail with a local treat! Many of our guests are vegans or vegetarians, whom we are more than happy to accommodate. If you have special diet requirements or limitations, just let us know when you sign-up and we’ll work with you to meet your needs.
