Una giornata in e-bike nelle Langhe del Barolo

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 strongly 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.

If you don't own any specific bike / mountain biking clothing, the advice for outdoor days is always: dress "like an onion" (in layers)!

We advise you to wear comfortable clothing, taking into account that, along unpaved stretches, we could encounter some puddles or a bit of mud (and the mountain bikes do not have fenders). So, to sum up:

• the helmet (if you have one, otherwise we will provide you with one of ours)
• t-shirt
• sneakers or hiking shoes
• a backpack with a long-sleeved shirt and a rainproof jacket or windproof inside (maybe you won't need them but...!)
• a water bottle for water / mineral salts
• sunglasses
• sunscreen

We recommend arriving already "dressed for biking", so as to be ready to go. In addition, a tip from our Ale is to carry a spare t-shirt in your backpack, to wear for lunch and / or at the end of the ride when you get back to the car.

If the weather makes the tour impossible, we will contact you the day before (when the weather forecast becomes more reliable) to reschedule the day or for a reimbursement.

The price of the package, 79euros per person, includes:

• Accompaniment by a bicycle tour guide authorized by the Piedmont Region for cycling / e-bike excursions for the whole day
• lunch (two courses, water and coffee)

if you wish to use one of our eBikes for the ride, the cost of the rental for the whole day, including the helmet, is 40 euros, and can be added during the booking.

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!

Before each trip we always ask our travelers about any allergies, intolerances or special food needs, and we prepare in advance with restaurants and hotels to make everyone's experience the best possible.

We also pay attention to the needs of vegetarians and vegans, ensuring that suitable alternatives are always provided.
