Guided culinary e-bike tours



By e-bike over all mountains

Rental stations for e-bikes and e-mountain bikes

When headwinds and inclines dampen your spirits, the push of a button can change everything. It switches on a quiet, environmentally friendly electric motor that intervenes with support, depending on how steep the incline is and how much assistance you have set. E-bikes have conquered cycling tourism in the land of a thousand mountains. Joint cycling trips of differently trained people thus become a pleasurable, nature-oriented vacation experience for everyone. Try it out for yourself. E-biking is really easy and great fun!
