Ride through the mountains on an electric mountain bike (mid-altitude mountains, that is), have fun, and be enchanted! An electric-assist mountain bike tackles the climbs, eats up the kilometres and shows you the mountains from a “wide angle”! You get access to the most beautiful panoramas, chains of little valleys, and descents along mountain streams… not to mention a stop at a mountain hut in the sunshine.
Here are a few electric mountain bike holidays in France, Austria or Germany, either point-to-point or based in one place, sporty (within reason) but not reckless, to make you love the mountains even more. All of them offer very comfortable accommodation, often with a swimming pool or sauna, and that’s pretty great too!
The High Black Forest by electric mountain bike

Electric mountain biking is one way to discover the High Black Forest. It reveals the vastness of its landscapes: an endless succession of rolling hills in a thousand shades of green, open or sheltered valleys, always dotted with huge farmhouses covered in wooden shingles, panoramas as far as the eye can see, thick forests, singing streams and lakes. You will have the chance to discover local culture and traditions by visiting picturesque villages, historic churches and interesting cultural sites.
The Black Forest is never bleak, and often intimate. The trails and forest tracks are well marked and gentle on your tyres. You will still be surprised by a few steep climbs: manage your battery!
Gosau and the Dachstein massif by electric mountain bike
The upper Gosau valley, at the foot of the Dachstein in Austria, is also just a stone’s throw from the superb village of Hallstatt, in the heart of the UNESCO-listed region. You will ride around emerald lakes set among the mountains, cross forests overlooked by bare rock and glaciers, reach exceptional panoramas over the valleys and lakes, climb to the top of the alpine pastures, and let yourself get a little sun-tanned on the terraces of the mountain huts! On top of that, you will stay in a 3* hotel fully equipped for sport and for relaxing afterwards.

Tyrol and the Kaiser massif by electric mountain bike
The idea? An electric mountain bike holiday based in one place. The region? The Kaiser massif in Tyrol, with its rolling green landscapes of lakes and alpine pastures, from which chiselled peaks emerge, dotted with villages and high-altitude huts. But the good trails and wide tracks can take you as far as Upper Bavaria. As for your “base camp”, it is a family-run 4* hotel with an indoor pool, sauna and relaxation area. A week of pleasure and feeling great!

Tyrol offers a multitude of mountain bike routes for all tastes. From gentle trails along the valleys to technical and fun descents, passing through more demanding mountain paths, you will find routes suited to your level and preferences.
