Self-guided e-bike tour to Bovilla Lake
18 km round trip on an e-bike - the easier version of our Bovilla ride.
About this experience
The same route as our self-guided bike tour, but on an electric mountain bike - which changes the ride from a serious workout into a manageable half-day for almost anyone.
Nine kilometers each way, from our base in ZallHerr up to Bovilla Lake, at your own pace. You pick up the e-bike, helmet, lock, and printed route instructions from our base.
We'll walk you through the route and how the e-bike works before you head out - battery, motor levels, brakes - and answer any questions. From there, it's your ride.
Follow the map, take breaks when you want, spend as long as you like at the lake, and return the e-bike when you're back. Every e-bike leaves the base with a full charge - plenty of battery for the round trip with room to spare.
The motor takes the effort out of the climb. Most riders reach the lake in about an hour and a half, spend an hour or more there, and ride back in a bit over an hour.
There's no rush - if you want to take it easy, keep the bike longer. The route is the same rocky mountain track as the pedal-bike version, so basic bike handling is still needed.
But you won't be exhausted at the top. Good pick if you want to reach Bovilla under your own steam without needing to be a regular cyclist.
Also a strong choice for mixed groups - if some in your group are fit for the climb and others aren't, book a mix of pedal bikes and e-bikes so you can all ride together. Bring water and sunscreen.
A GPS device is available on request if you'd rather not rely on your phone.
