Possible goals and inspiration
Zermatt
The municipality of Zermatt covers a large area. To discover every beautiful corner, hidden insider tips and quiet areas a bike is very useful!
Come with us and explore the village by e-bike for half a day and acquire exciting knowledge from the bike guide.
Riffelberg - Zermatt
Take the gondola up to the Riffelberg, where the flow trail starts. Return to the village via Furi and the Moos Trail. Ideal for an afternoon outing with the family.
Zermatt - Täsch - Randa
The Zermatt Valley Trail connects different villages by bike. The route for advanced riders is suitable for a beautiful summer's day, with a break at Lake Schali and a meal in one of the many restaurants.
Blauherd - Täsch
Take the gondola from Zermatt to Blauherd and then via Tufteren to Täsch. This route is only for experts, but the views and the adventure are unique! Once you arrive at Täschalp, you can take a well-earned break and then take the shuttle train back to Zermatt.
Glacier garden - Furi
From Furi along the gorge with the Gornerli stream to the glacier garden. There is a playground and barbecue area on site. Perfect for a bike day with children! The way back leads via the Moos Trail back to Zermatt.
What bike experiences does ZERMATTERS offer?
Whether flow trail, enduro adventure or technique training - we offer guided tours, bike courses and tailor-made mountain biking experiences in Zermatt.
Enjoy the legendary flow trail from the Riffelberg down into the valley, experience challenging enduro sections around the Schwarzsee or work specifically on your riding technique to become safer and more efficient.
What is the advantage of a bike guide?
A bike guide from ZERMATTERS not only ensures a safe experience, but also makes your tour something very special. Our guides know all the trails around Zermatt - including their technical requirements - and choose exactly the route that suits your riding ability. At the same time, they will coach you specifically on the bike, help you improve your technique and provide you with exciting information about the region. This way you will experience maximum enjoyment on the right trail - with safety, fun and progress.
What is best for bike beginners?
If you have little experience on a bike, we recommend our basic technique course - ideal with a normal mountain bike. Alternatively, you can also hire an e-bike: This gives you much more freedom and allows you to explore the region in a relaxed manner. This is because many of the trails around Zermatt are steep - without an e-drive and riding technique, they can quickly become a challenge.
Do I need my own mountain bike?
You're welcome to bring your own bike to the course. If you don't have one or prefer riding a top-of-the-line model, Zermatt offers great rental options – for example at Slalom Sport, Matterhorn Sport or Bayard. That way, you're perfectly equipped for your biking adventure.
What is the difference between a tour and a technical course?
In our technique courses, the focus is on learning and refining riding techniques such as braking, cornering, overcoming obstacles and position on the bike. On tours, the focus is on the shared riding experience and exploring the beautiful surroundings here in Zermatt - we recommend an e-bike for this!
Are there tours that can only be done on an e-bike or only on a classic mountain bike?
Yes, for some tours the type of bike is decisive:
E-bike: In principle, we recommend all bike experiences with an e-bike. For the e-bike evening tour, you must have an e-bike - the focus here is on relaxed pleasure riding at sunset.
Classic mountain bike: Helibiking is only possible with a classic mountain bike - for technical and safety reasons.
Not sure what suits you? No problem - our team at Homebase will be happy to advise you personally.
Are there special offers for children?
Yes, there are also suitable bike offers for children in Zermatt. In the Kids Bike League, young bikers can gain their first experience on a bike in a fun and safe way. At various levels - from beginner to advanced - they learn technique, balance and off-road safety. The courses are age-appropriate and are supervised by trained bike guides. Ideal for introducing youngsters to mountain biking in a fun way.
In addition to the Kids Bike League, it is also possible to book a private bike guide for children, just like for adults.
