With over 400 kilometres of singletrack to explore in the Engadin Valley you are spoilt for choice, but local guide and e-MTB rider Dave Spielmann managed to design a route for us that show cases the huge variety on offer.  It starts with some traditional Swiss high alpine mountain villages, followed by beautiful woodlands and culminating with views to glaciers and the highest peaks in the region. 

Every rider given this task had their own personal take on what it means to explore new ground, Pro rider Guido Tschugg took note of the brief to design a route that would be accessible to many different riders, but he couldn’t resist also throwing in his own personal favourite, a challenging ride to the top of the Kampenwand mountain.

Trysil is Norway’s biggest ski resort but when the snow departs the mountain bikers arrive to enjoy a hundred kilometres of natural trails and purpose built single track. It’s a great resort for challenging your skills on the purpose built training area and also heading out in to the extensive network of natural trails.

Many people have the perception that Holland is flat, too flat for mountain biking, but Valkenburg is an awesome place to ride. Whilst it might not have huge mountains its rolling, hilly countryside is beautiful and peaceful and offers plenty of variation and challenge for e-MTB riders.

Lago di Braies is reputed to be one of the most beautiful and picturesque lakes in the Dolomites and it is from here that Marco Aurelio Fontana chooses to start his ride, with a stunning back drop to the physically and technically challenging trails in the mountains above.

As a former downhill rider Markus Pekoll is more familiar with taking the gondola than pedalling uphill, but for this route he enjoys the assistance of his e-MTB to allow him to tackle the alpine trails that lead to the top of the mountain.
