Tour Difficulty Levels Explained

Every tour on this site is marked Easy, Intermediate or Advanced. Here's what each level actually means — so you can find yourself in the description before you book.

Easy

You can ride a bike and keep your balance — that's all you need. We ride bike paths and smooth gravel roads around the lake, with no steep descents. Perfect for families, beginners, and anyone who hasn't ridden in years. The e-bike makes the climbs effortless.

Intermediate

You ride confidently: braking on a descent feels natural, and gravel roads don't make you nervous. No mountain biking experience needed. These tours climb into the mountains on unpaved roads with serious elevation gain — the e-bike handles the physical effort, you handle the bike.

Advanced

You've ridden in the mountains before: long descents on gravel and rocky roads don't scare you, and you know how to position your body on a downhill. These are the highest and longest routes — Passo Tremalzo, Monte Altissimo — with big days in the saddle.

A note on technical trails

Some tours include easy, flowing trail sections — but no technical singletrack. Here's why: as a guide, I meet you for the first time on the day of the tour. I can't assess your riding level remotely, and taking someone onto difficult terrain without knowing their skills is a risk I won't take with your safety. If technical riding is what you're after, a bike park or a skills instructor — someone who knows your level and builds your progression step by step — is the right choice.
