Looking for an experience out of the ordinary? We’re taking you along in our latest video to discover one of Switzerland's most incredible spots: the Plaine Morte Glacier.

Get ready, we’re heading up to a lunar landscape at 3,000 meters altitude. Hit "Play" and feast your eyes!

 

Why you’ll love this tour

Imagine yourself at the summit, surrounded by the highest peaks of the Alps, with a desert of rock and ice stretching out before you. The Plaine Morte Glacier tour is much more than just a ride; it’s a total high-mountain immersion.

Whether you’re on a mountain bike or an E-Bike, this route will give you chills (and not just from the altitude!).

On the menu for your day

  • 40 km of pure adventure.
  • 600 m of elevation gain: just enough to keep things challenging.
  • 2,700 m of descent: an endless and incredibly varied downhill run.
  • 99% trails: forget the asphalt, we’re here for the singletrack!

All the details are on the Plaine Morte glacier tour page.

What to expect in the video

We wanted to show you the real atmosphere of our ExoRide outings. You’ll discover:

  1. The stratospheric start on the glacial plateau.
  2. The 360° view of the Valais 4,000m peaks (the Matterhorn is never far away!).
  3. The mountain hut break: the perfect moment for a plate of rösti with the crew.
  4. Technical riding: from the rocky slabs at the top to the flowy forest trails at the end of the day.
