About this experience
We will visit the Langhe, a UNESCO world heritage site since 2014, from an ecological and sporting point of view. A few kilometers away from Alba, we will travel along little-traveled routes, on dirt and asphalt roads and you will have a professional at your disposal who will be able to help you make the best use of your ebike and will explain what surrounds you so that you can better appreciate this wonderful wine-growing region.
The route is approximately 40 kilometers long with a difference in altitude of 640 metres, therefore suitable for medium-trained cyclists.
We will discover the main natural resources of this magnificent land and admire the castles and medieval villages, in a setting that will take us back in time.
The dirt route is of intermediate level and safe for everyone.
In case of difficulty in tackling the parts on dirt road, the guide will show you how to do it safely, or he will change the route to asphalt to make it easier and more fun for everyone.
