"Langhe del Barolo" Private E-bike Tour - Asphalt and Dirt Road
Description
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.

We had a incredible cycle tour on e-mountainbikes that mainly was offroad and on gravel roads through the wine- and hazelnut yards. Gabriele knows a lot about this area and told many stories in a inspiring way. We had a great day! If you want to cycle in Barolo region, Gabriele is the guide!
One of the very best travel activities I have ever experienced. The Langhe region is simply stunning in every way, combining history, architecture, food, wine, and natural beauty that truly stands out. Furthermore, our guide Gabriele was very experienced, knowledgeable, and patient. He speaks perfect English and Italian, and was happy to customize the tour based on our preferences and riding experience. Having a private tour just the two of us was a luxury, and riding into villages and vineyards was an unforgettable experience. His e-bikes are new, extremely capable, and very comfortable, allowing the exploration of the hilly region without fear of over exertion. If you enjoy riding and want to spend a dreamy day in this enchanted region, you owe it to yourself to hire Gabriele.
I contacted Gabriele for a private tour as a couple on the occasion of my partner's birthday. My request was to make a tour not too simple almost totally on dirt. Gabriele completely satisfied my requests by organizing a 45km tour almost entirely on dirt, as well as telling us several curiosities about the territory. Super recommended!
Gabriele was very kind and professional, the ride is very nice. Almost the entire route was on dirt roads, and always outside busy areas. You need to have a minimum of training. Gabriele has however proved willing at any time to change the itinerary according to our needs. Highly recommended
Gabriele was the perfect guide for our tour with friends. A beautiful experience that we will remember forever! Congratulations, as also said verbally, for the. Professionalism, joy and availability! Definitely to be redone!
Excellent biking tour! Mix of asphalt and dirt roads, even rode through the vineyards! Saw a lot of different small towns that we would not have visited otherwise. Highly recommend this tour!
Gabriele was a wonderful guide and provided us with many interesting facts and information about the area. We enjoyed visiting the different towns by bicycle. At times, the ride was challenging, but Gabriele made sure we were safe and comfortable. We would highly recommend this trip.
We had a great experience with Gabriele touring on e-mountain bikes throughout the Barolo region. Gabriele is friendly, knowledgeable, and a skilled rider. He adapted the tour to our needs and desired ability levels. The trails throughout this area are vast and stunningly beautiful. Gabriele created a great route with fun climbs, descents, and enjoyable stops along the way taking in the area’s local food and wine scene. The tasting was excellent and a fun way to finish the day after the bike ride. We highly recommend Gabriele and will definitely plan for another ride with him next time we’re in the area. He also provided wonderful dinner recommendations, and kindly offered us transportation. Gabriele is a delight and an ultimate host.
It was a pleasant discovery of the Barolo territory, and the professionalism and knowledge of the routes with a description of the history of the countries visited made the day really pleasant, so I recommend it to all those who want to expand the knowledge of those areas ..
Thank you Gabriele for the wonderful day in mtb through vineyards, hazelnut groves and beautiful villages on the hills, very professional and documented guide, to be recommended to any person wants to visit the Langhe by mtb. See you soon! 👋
