Who this fits

With friends Adventure Ecotourism
It’s a good fit if you're looking for an active but relaxed getaway: families with teenagers, couples or groups of friends who want to combine easy cycling with charming towns, without prior experience needed. The e-bike option makes it accessible to almost anyone. It’s not a good fit if you're looking for a technical challenge, steep climbs or long distances. Here the pace is leisurely and the terrain comfortable: it’s discovery bike touring, not a sporting event.
