    It’s a fabulous route, you’ll need plenty of battery and there’s some steep tech stuff. Definitely not one for a fresh e-bike hirer

    Fabulous snowshoe walk (in perfect weather). Amazing views all round, good café half way round if needed. Last bit up to Super Chatel via the top of Portes de Soleil chair lift is a bit of a pull through beginner skiers at the end but not a problem.
