About this tour
Pedal through the Langhe wine country on e-bike, a UNESCO-listed region near Alba where medieval villages and castle silhouettes dot rolling vineyard slopes. This 6–7 hour guided tour covers roughly 40 kilometres across quiet country lanes and packed dirt tracks, with 640 metres of elevation gain. A Piedmont-based guide handles route calls, mechanical hiccups, and local knowledge—expect proper instruction on technical sections if needed, or easier alternatives if the terrain gets sketchy.

What to expect
You'll start with a briefing on e-bike handling, then strike out onto a mix of sealed and gravel tracks winding through vineyard country. The route is intermediate-friendly—your guide reads the group's comfort and swaps gnarly dirt sections for asphalt if needed. Expect rolling terrain, some sharp climbs, and constant views of stone villages and castle ruins scattered across the slopes. The pace is steady rather than swift; you'll stop to absorb the landscape and hear local stories. Mechanical faults and minor scrapes are covered; harder repairs and lunch aren't.
