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.

Our tours are suitable for all levels. From relaxed e-MTB rides on wide forest roads for beginners to challenging trails over hill and dale for experts - you choose the pace and difficulty, we'll make sure you find the perfect route.

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.

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.

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!

A normal basic fitness level is sufficient for technical courses. For tours, the level of difficulty varies depending on the route - you will find information on altitude, riding time and level of difficulty in the profile. If in doubt, just ask us.

Yes, our e-MTB tours combine enjoyable climbs with breathtaking views and flowing descents - perfect if you want to cover more distance or are less fit.

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.
