More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a cobbled square beneath the Venetian walls and the city exhales: stone, church bells and a sliver of sky over the tiled roofs. On an e‑bike the hills that ring Bergamo feel close — the Allegrezza forest slopes cool under your wheels, Benaglia lifts you to open views, and the Val d'Astino valley lays out monastery roofs and olive terraces below.

Charge and check the battery
Confirm battery range before you leave and bring the charger or confirm mid‑ride swap options — the hills demand sustained assist on steeper sections.
Choose grippy footwear
Cobblestones and short trail sections require shoes with good traction and a firm sole for stable pedaling and occasional dismounts.
Mind narrow historic streets
When rolling through Città Alta or Piazza Vecchia, reduce speed and yield to pedestrians; cobbles can be slippery when wet.
Hydrate and snack on the route
Bring 1–1.5 liters of water and a compact snack — there are cafés along the way but stops are short and spaced out.
E‑bike (provided)
Motor assists climbs and extends range—confirm fit and battery before departure.
Helmet (provided)
Protects on cobbles and gravel; use one that fits snugly.
Sturdy shoes
Closed shoes with a firm sole improve control on pedals and short off‑bike walks.
Light waterproof jacket
Spring showers and breezy hilltops make a packable shell useful.
