August 15-27, 2025
We are excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for the August, 2025 e-mountain bike tour of the Swiss alps. We have five spots available for people with disabilities, and will be reviewing physical needs, sponsorship options, and equipment requirements to find the best matches. Those with paraplegia, lower extremity amputations, or disabilities affecting the legs are ideal for the all-terrain handcycle bikes that we use on the trails.
Tour Highlights & Details:
Hotels:
– Zermatt, Switzerland: Hotel Silvana
– Grindelwald, Switzerland: Hotel Schweizerhof
– Sils Maria, Switzerland: Hotel Waldhaus
Highlights – Zermatt: The Matterhorn and the Matter valley, surrounded by 30 peaks topping 4,000 m (13,000 ft.); the Monte Rosa massif and Dufourspitze, the highest point in Switzerland; Gornergrat, a cog railway that travels 3,089 m (10,134 ft.) to an impressive overlook, and the Klein Matterhorn, the end point of Switzerland’s highest cable car at 3,820 m (12,533 ft.) is terrific. Having such impressive gondolas and cable cars and cog trains to our trail heads helps us keep above tree line affording incredible views of an area that holds 3/4 of all 4000-meter peaks in the Alps.
Highlights – Grindelwald: The Jungfrau massif (Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau); high mountain passes of Kleine Scheidegg and Grosse Scheidegg; and the hike from Grindelwald to the historic Mountain Lodge Faulhorn, with panoramic views over lakes Thun and Brienz; upper and lower glaciers of Grindelwald, Thunersee, Brienz See, and Interlaken; dairy farms and local cheeses and one of the best day hikes in the Alps the route above Grindelwald from First to Schynige Platte.
Lead Guides: Dr. Valerie Jones and Cristiano Berta
