- What kind of bike do I need?
Pass'Portes du Soleil MTB / ePass'Portes ePowered by Bosch: An all-mountain enduro mountain bike, fully suspended, with suspension travel between 130 and 180mm. The telescopic seatpost is a nice plus.
Pass'Portes du Soleil Gravel: a gravel or a cyclocross with a section of wide tires (minimum 38 mm): the route is in the mountains and you may encounter technical portions.
- What protection is advised?
Helmet and gloves are mandatory. Back protection, elbow pads and knee pads are recommended for the MTB itineraries
- How do I get my bike on the chairlifts?
Some chairlifts only accept one person and one bike, others can take 2 people and 2 bikes and sometimes more. Sometimes you will be required to load the bike yourself, at other points the lift staff will do this for you.
Please note that you might be asked to remove the battery of your electric bike, for safety reason. Also, a special attention will be brought to the bikes which tires are wider than 3.5" during boarding. All of this has to do with certification and approval, don't be surprise and stay focus!

Yes of course. But there is also a specific itinerary designed for ebikes: the ePassPortes epowered by Bosch
