“I had the opportunity to try out a new activity with my friends – electric mountain biking on snow. I was able to try out some exciting new experiences in complete safety during this activity which was offered and supervised by the Bureau de la Montagne du Salève. The guide really accommodated our requirements with different routes. ”

Christel, from the Monts du Genevois team

#Electric mountain bikes

Looking for an activity during your trip away with friends this winter? We have just the thing! And, as we know it’s hard to choose, this experience is both fun, sporty and sociable.
Try out electric mountain biking this winter!
Ludovic, an experienced instructor from the Bureau de la Montagne, will accompany you as soon as the first snow falls. Get on your bike! You’ll be able to ride across all types of terrain thanks to the thick tyres and electric assistance.
Head for Le Salève, far from the crowds at the Alpine ski resorts, and experience new thrills and excitement on the snow!
Head off for the slopes on the eastern side from the La Croisette cross-country ski centre. You will ride towards ‘Treize Arbres’ before returning via the ridge paths.

#Summits

Once you’re up on the ridge, don’t forget to look up. As you know, one of the best rewards to be enjoyed in the mountains is the scenery. And in winter, the landscape is very different to other times of year. In the heart of winter, the snow, whether it’s fresh, firm or powdery, covers the mountains.
Take your time and soak up the soft daylight at this time of year. The trees are sprinkled with snow and sounds are dampened. The only sound you’ll hear is the crunch of your electric mountain bike’s tyres on the ground.
Stop for a while and take in the 360° panoramic views of Les Bauges to the Swiss Alps, including the Jura mountains and looking down over Geneva and Lake Geneva.
It’s time to get going again. The time has come to leave as a second reward is now waiting for you.

#Cheese

Feeling peckish? Push open the door of Les Marches de la Croisette and settle into the warm atmosphere of a genuine Savoyard bistro. Here, the mountains are as much to be savoured as they are to be admired.
And when you think of the mountains, you think of cheese! It’s impossible to resist the local star: Reblochon. Tartiflette lovers, have you ever tried the revisited version? The famous croziflette! In this Alpine variation, potatoes are replaced by crozets, small square wheat or buckwheat pasta typical of the Alps. Authentic, generous and resolutely comforting, croziflette embodies mountain cuisine: simple, local and incredibly tasty. The perfect dish to warm up after a trip to the mountains.
And to finish on a sweet note, let yourself be tempted by the wine-poached pear. The melt-in-the-mouth fruit, the soft waffle and the aroma of cinnamon form an irresistible trio… A dessert that promises a generous dose of indulgence!

From the screech of tyres on snow to the melt-in-the-mouth goodness of a steaming croziflette, let yourself be carried away by the simple, authentic pleasures of the mountains.
