WHY THIS HIKE

E-bike from Lecco to Alpe Cova

The Valsassina by e-bike, without suffering on the climbs.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Malnago, above Lecco, and head for Alpe Cova through beech woods and wide clearings. The route offers a spectacular view over the Valsassina and the surrounding mountains, with sections that take you deep into the woods. The trails are well kept and the e-bike assistance makes even the demanding climbs accessible: you do not need to be a mountain biking expert. We pass Pianeral before heading back.

5 reasons to come - Alpe Cova reached by pedalling - the view over the Valsassina and the Lecco mountains - the beech woods and clearings of the Val Cassina - demanding climbs made accessible by the e-bike - a loop that returns to Lecco

Who it suits Electric assistance makes the route accessible even without mountain biking experience.

Mountains by pedal, without gasping: come with the Guidders.

VERTIGO RISK
WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU GO
✓
BEFORE YOU GO
Try the bike before setting off: saddle at the right height and battery at 100%. You don't need to be a cyclist, the motor helps uphill, but take care on the descents: follow your guide's pace
✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
Helmet (required, provided with the rental), gloves, glasses, a windproof jacket, 1 litre of water and a snack, all in a small backpack: you feel the weight on a bike. Always with you: a plaster, an antiseptic wipe and a small bag for rubbish
