Clone of Two days by e-bike in the Langhe region
In the lands of Barolo and Barbaresco, two days in mountain bike with pedal assistance amongst spectacular scenery and gastronomy
In these two days we will be exploring the Langhe, an area of glorious landscapes, ancient castles and high quality wines.
We will devote the first day of the Barolo region and will touch the iconic places of this land: Barolo, Monforte, Grinzane Cavour, La Morra. There is no better way to visit these hills than to pedal safely with an e-bike, enjoying ascents and descents, stopping to take a picture in front of one of the giant benches, letting your gaze to get lost in front of this simple beauty.
In the evening we will have dinner together at a farmhouse, to leave again the next morning full of energy towards the Barbaresco region: Neive, Treiso and Barbaresco will be among the points touched by this second day of travel. More vineyards, more spectacular views, yet subtly different.
Two amazing days, approximately 40 km a day that will be made easier thanks to the e-bikes, and an experience that we will surely not forget!
Length: 90 km
Elevation gain: 1,900m
For this trip we recommend using a full suspended electric mountain bike. It is possible to rent it from us, at an additional cost of 80 euros for the whole day, including the helmet.
Medium easy
Not physically challenging - e-bikes help a lot for this :) - with some stretches on unsettled terrain, both uphill and downhill. (trails and unpaved roads, you should not be afraid of a little downhill on gravel, or some roots or loose stones)
Day 1 - Ebike in the Langhe of Barolo
Being in the saddle for a day in the classic Langhe between Barolo, La Morra, Grinzane Cavour, Castiglione Falletto, between geometric hills and vineyards as far as the eye can see. Here the landscape is really postcard-like, and pedaling with the ebike allows us to enjoy priceless views.
Day 2 - Ebike in the Barbaresco Langhe
Second day on an ebike, this time in the land of Barbaresco, with yet different views and easy and fun trails. Some of our most affectionate travelers believe that this is the most beautiful and amazing ebike ride we offer.
Preparatissimo, simpatico e sorridente, papà orgoglioso di due belle bambine, Alessandro Ferrio è un professionista dell'accompagnamento su due ruote versatile e molto capace, che spazia dalla bici da corsa alla mountain bike, per arrivare qualche volta anche alla vespa! Vero viaggiatore in bicicletta, Alessandro sa risolvere ogni imprevisto senza perdere il suo sorriso tranquillo.
Dicono di lui i nostri viaggiatori:
- Alessandro è una guida, e soprattutto un compagno di viaggio, straordinario! (Fabrizio, viaggiatore sulla via del Sale)
- Le nostre 2 guide, Marco Ellena e Alessandro Ferrio, non solo sono competenti e professionali nel loro lavoro, ma sanno metterti subito a tuo agio e rendere quest'esperienza unica! (Barbara, viaggiatrice sulla Via del Sale)
This is one of our EASY tours.
We will be riding secondary roads, alternating paved stretches and unpaved sections that might include roots or stones.
This is a real bike ride, a day of outdoor sports, which is why it's important to be fit for it.
We recommend wearing padded cycling shorts as you will be riding for around 4 hours. If you are a frequent rider, remember to bring them with you. If you instead have never used them, re recommend getting a pair. Padded shorts are the biker's best friend (and also of the eBiker), because the legs will hold up well with the electric bike, but a bad “lower back” can really ruin a good day.
In all our eBike tours it is essential to wear a helmet, if you don't have one we can lend it to you. If you rent one of our eBikes, the helmet is included in the price.
We do not own the eBikes ourselves: we work with the best rental companies in Piedmont that, depending on the type of tour we are going to do, provide us with eBikes that are clean, in excellent working order, medium-high range (like Cube, Focus, Haibike, Rossignol, Thok, all equipped with Bosch - Shimano - Yamaha motors) and, importantly, of the correct size.
An electric mountain bike, or e-bike, is a way to deal with paths which normally would not be doable by everyone, and enjoy the road, the landscape and nature.
These are are also called “pedal assist” bikes, because the motor will help the rider in moving, but the rider still has to pedal.
So, by riding an e-bike, someone who is trained can get even further, and beginners can have fun without feeling exhausted straight away.
To understand and get a feel for how much fun and easy to use of these bicycles are, the only solution is to come and try!

Probabilmente hai già una attrezzatura completa per pedalare per una giornata in sella ad una eBike. In questo paragrafo abbiamo inserito il "promemoria" che usiamo noi per essere sicuri di non dimenticare nulla prima di partire per un tour:
- il casco - non è (ancora) obbligatorio per legge, ma lo è in tutti i nostri tour
- pantaloncini con fondello
- t-shirt in tessuto tecnico
- scarpe da bici/mtb (oppure da ginnastica/trekking)
- uno zainetto con dentro una maglia a maniche lunghe e un k-way o antivento (magari non serviranno, ma meglio essere previdenti...!)
- una borraccia per l'acqua / sali minerali
- uno snack
- occhiali da sole
- crema protezione UV
Controllare la bici prima di partire per il tour (IMPORTANTE) :
- pneumatici in buone condizioni
- freni funzionanti
- sospensioni in ordine e tarate correttamente
- catena non eccessivamente usurata o danneggiata
- batteria carica
Infine, la nostra guida ha con sé nello zaino il necessario per effettuare piccole riparazioni, ma alcuni pezzi non sono universalmente validi, quindi il nostro consiglio è di avere nel proprio zaino qualche ricambio che potrebbe rendersi necessario, del tipo e della misura adatta alla propria eBike:
- una camera d'aria
- una falsa maglia
- una coppia di pastiglie dei freni
- il forcellino del cambio
L'elenco è lungo, ma sta tutto in uno zaino!
Consigliamo di arrivare già "vestiti da bici" al luogo dell'appuntamento, così da essere pronti a partire.
Le giornate di questo tour hanno partenza e arrivo all'hotel in cui pernottiamo.
Oltre allo zaino da usare durante la giornata, per i tuoi vestiti ed effetti personali puoi portare con te una valigia / trolley / borsone che lasceremo in hotel. Non dimenticare il caricabatterie! :)

For reservations made within 30 days of departure, full payment is due upon booking. Lack of payment of the abovementioned sums on the dates established constitutes grounds for cancellation of reservations such as to determine, on the part of Giroola Srl, the right to terminate the contract.
5) TRANSFER OF CONTRACT
The client renouncing the contract may be substituted by another person provided that:
a) Giroola Srl be given written notice at least 4 weekdays prior to the date of departure, together with the necessary personal data of the transferee;
b) The transferee be able to satisfy all the conditions for the fruition of the service ( ex article 10 of Legislative decree n.111/95) and in particular the requisites relative to passports, visas, health certificates;

Moreover, the transferor and the transferee are both accountable for the payment in full of the tour package price as well as for the sum as per item (c) of the present article.
As far as certain types of services are concerned, third party suppliers have the right to refuse the substitution of the transferee, even if effected within the time limit specified as per item (a) of the present article. Giroola Srl will therefore not be held responsible for the eventual non-acceptance of the substitution on behalf of third parties. This non-acceptance shall be notified in good time by Giroola Srl to the parties involved before departure.
6) WITHDRAWAL
In the event of withdrawing from the tour package contract, the client is, in any case, liable for the payment of the tour package price. If withdrawal takes place for reasons beyond those envisaged in article 7 of the present General Terms, the client shall pay, in compliance with ex article 1373, paragraph III, Italian Civil Code, cancellation penalties as specified below:
- 10% of the tour package price within 30 days prior to departure
- 30% of the tour package price from 29 to 18 days prior to departure
- 50% of the tour package price from 17 to 10 days prior to departure

7) WITHDRAWAL OF CLIENT WITHOUT PENALTY
The client may withdraw from the contract, without incurring any penalty, in the following circumstances:

- after the conclusion of the contract itself but prior to departure and not accepted by the client.

- the fruition of an alternative tour package, with no increase in price or with the restitution of the excess in price, if the second tour package costs less than the first;
- the restitution of any sum corresponded as partial payment. Said restitution must be made within seven weekdays from receiving the request for reimbursement.

The client who decides to withdraw from the contract before departure for circumstances beyond those listed above shall pay, after deducting the account paid as per article 4, the penalty indicated in article 6.
8) TOUR VARIATIONS
Variations to the tour, requested by the client, after the confirmation of booking, could involve processing expenses for Giroola Srl and at times penalties charged by suppliers. If so, the customer will be charged. Partial withdrawal of some of the travellers under the same contract and the resulting decrease in number of tour members is to be considered partial cancellation and is consequently regulated as stated in article 6.
As specified in our General Conditions of Sale of tourist packages, when you travel with Giroola you are covered by our Civil Liability Insurance. For all that could happen and that was due to our negligence or error, we have signed a policy (Reale Mutua Assicurazioni, nr.2007 / 03/2276452).
There are other insurance policies that we recommend and for which we have chosen to work with Allianz Global Assistance, whose Globy range seems to us to be the most suitable for our travelers:
- TRAVEL CANCELLATION - Our 8-person trips are often full months before the date of travel, and even if our cancellation policy is actually much more flexible than expressed in our Booking Policy (our travelers can attest to this, we are very available to move the trip in case of unexpected even the last minute), where other facilities are involved (hotels, rentals, etc) some expenses are not really refundable, and therefore a good trip cancellation insurance becomes a valuable ally.
- HEALTH and ASSISTANCE
We at Giroola are an agency of the Globy network of Allianz Global Assistance, and we can therefore provide you with all the information, make estimates and issue the policies directly with the booking.
For any information our Paola is at your disposal at the phone number +39 370 3506333, at the address [email protected] or in the chat directly on this page.
