All the joy of cycling… with less of the effort

7 routes to try out with an electric bike

E-bikes, electric bikes or pedal assist bikes… whatever you call them, it always means the same perk: you can turn a climb that would otherwise be too long or too steep into an exhilarating athletic challenge. All thanks to the electric motor that comes to your aid with that extra burst of power you might need from time to time.

A little boost that lets you make it to Alpine lakes or mountain meadows that would otherwise be out of reach. The magic of e-bikes makes up for different levels of athleticism so that you can cycle in a group, with your friends or as a family.

If you don’t know where to start, take a look at our recommended routes. These trails are easy or medium in difficulty: ideal for your first outings this season.

Tour dei Forti on Alpe Cimbra

Here you can have so much fun! However, let’s share with you right away that this trail is difficult and demanding. Even if you are on an e-bike, we recommend that you take this tour if you have strong legs! As you pass through the Austro-Hungarian fortresses of Alpe Cimbra, you alternate the initial uphill stretch with ridges and descents: a succession of panoramas and memories of history!
