Outside this period, we could arrange the tours according to availability, weather conditions and how much you enjoy the fresher and colder air.
Departures can be arranged throughout the week and the weekend. Just remember to book a few days or weeks in advance and wait for our email confirmation with further details. The earlier you pre-book, the more certain you are that the e-bikes and the guide will be available for you.
Rest assured, we create our tours primarily for you to have a good time.
