Description
Most visitors see the Cinque Terre from the water or on foot. This Monterosso e-bike tour offers another angle: the ridges above the villages, where the coast opens out from Mesco to Punta Mantenero.
The ride begins at an agriturismo on the heights of Monterosso. Reach it by car, or by the bus that leaves from the village. A pick-up from the old town can be booked on request, for an extra charge. A local guide leads the way on electric bikes that are easy to pedal, helmet included, and tells the stories of the area as you go.
- Terraces, olive groves and shrines along the route
- The scent of Mediterranean maquis
- The two main sanctuaries of the Cinque Terre, above Monterosso and Vernazza
- The villages seen from above, in a 360-degree view
The pace is slow, the group is very small and the guide can adapt to what each person wants to see. The ride lasts around two and a half hours.
The bikes do not suit anyone under 165 cm tall or anyone not used to cycling, and children under 16 cannot take part.
