Climbing drugs for E-MTBs: 3 uphills in the Alps
Madritschjoch | Tip from Markus Greber, photographer
Ski resorts are not very idyllic in summer - this also applies to the area on the Madritschjoch. Why it is still a must to climb the barren, steep slopes from Sulden to the highest passable Alpine crossing becomes clear when you reach the top of the pass at 3123 metres. The trinity of Königsspitze, Ortler and Zebru rises up behind you. On the other side, the Martell Valley awaits with its smooth, polished rocks, as if the glacier had only recently retreated.

Mont Chaberton | Tip from Maxi Dickerhoff, E-MTB adventurer
"It's the longest ascent there is in the Alps. In figures: 1855 metres in altitude and 14 kilometres. When you reach the summit of Mont Chaberton, you won't find an idyllic summit cross, but the ruins of a huge military installation from both world wars. At the same time, you have an incredible panoramic view of the mightiest peaks in the Bernese Oberland and Valais from this eerie spot. The military road from 1881 leads mercilessly steeply uphill from Val di Susa and has become increasingly eroded in the upper part. One section has even broken away completely and is secured with a steel cable. A tremendous two-battery tour and a must for e-MTB adventurers." You can also find more information here->
Tremalzo | Tip from Stefan Schlie, EMTB riding technique expert
The Tremalzo is old hat? Not at all! Because beyond the classic routes up to the cult mountain on Lake Garda, there is a little-known route that will delight e-mountain bikers with good uphill skills. The famous Tremalzo gravel road is travelled uphill on this route, which makes more sense on an e-MTB anyway. However, the exciting part is much lower down. It leads from Limone through the Valle del Signol. In just under six kilometres, you gain 1100 metres in altitude - first on an incredibly steep concrete road and later on technical trails. The path spits you out at the Casa Mughera refuge. From there, the route continues over the Passo Nota up to Tremalzo. You can find more information about the Tremalzo here->
