Is the Les Gets Gravel course suitable for e-Gravel bikes?

Absolutely! The e-Gravel is even an excellent option for taking full advantage of the Alpine gradients and extending your explorations without exhaustion, while retaining the driving sensations that are so typical of the discipline.

Gravel in Les Gets Freedom has a new playground

The asphalt gently fades under your wheels, giving way to the rhythmic crunch of gravel. All around you, the silence is interrupted only by the gentle breeze blowing through the spruce trees. With each bend, the horizon opens up a little more, revealing the silvery reflections of the Mont Blanc Massif. Here, you’re no longer on a road, you’re somewhere else. Simply well.
