Take an 11‑minute cable car to 1,300 m and drop into a 12 km e‑bike loop through abandoned villages and an Austro‑Hungarian fortress. This self‑guided Lovćen ride combines steep switchbacks, mixed terrain, and panoramic views of the Bay of Kotor.

The ride begins where the town exhales: a swift, 11‑minute cable car lift that drops Kotor’s tiled roofs below and delivers riders to roughly 1,300 meters above the bay. At the top guides fit Cube e-bikes while the wind plays at the edge of the ridge and the first switchbacks of the day already hint at speed and exposure.

Bike check before you go
Confirm brakes, tire pressure and e‑bike battery range at the top; steeper descents demand reliable stopping power.
Timing matters
Start early for firmer trails and cooler air; afternoon sun can dry the surface and increase dust on descents.
Pace the descent
Use controlled braking on the 25 switchbacks—overheating rims and skids are common on long descents.
Park rules and waste
Stick to marked roads, avoid shortcuts through vegetation, and pack out any trash to protect fragile karst ecosystems.
Full‑face or MTB helmet
Even though helmets are provided, a personal helmet ensures fit and hygienic comfort.
Gloves with padding
Protect hands and improve control during long descents and rough switchbacks.
Hydration pack (1.5–2L)
Keeps water accessible for extended sections without services; hotter days demand more fluid.

Compact repair kit & pump
Punctures and mechanical issues on dirt roads require at least a spare tube, multi‑tool and mini pump.
