About
Join us on a mountain bike tour and explore an incredible, yet no so popular, mountain.
The morning will demand us a climb on road, where we'll be able to observe the changes on the landscape, while enjoying some gemstones of rural architecture and learn how mankind adapted to the mountain and changed it.
Then, stopping at a great lunch at a mom and pop's restaurant that mainly uses what they produce will fuel us to get back on our track, to reach amazing views to the multiple Gerês mountain tops and valley.
As we progress off the beaten track, we'll enjoy the scent of the wild flowers and improve our chances of spotting wild life in their natural habitat. Dazzle yourself with the broad views from the colourful moorlands, rocky summits and serene meadows.
Challenge yourself in a 40 km ride and be rewarded with a unique perspective of the Peneda Gerês National Park.
Our e-mountain bikes are very comfortable Univega Summit, equipped and power by Bosch and with an autonomy of 60km, that can help you to comfortably overcome the steep slopes and allow you to enjoy every moment of the day..
