Langhe E-MTB Tour: Wine & Trails in Piedmont, Italy

7 days | Moderate to Challenging | 5.00
From $3,900 ()
Book a call

The Langhe hills in Italy are UNESCO-listed for their vineyards, but we’re here for both the wine and the trails. On e-MTBs, we carve through sandy Roero forest singletracks, roll the legendary Barolo crus, dive into wild Alta Langa backcountry, and tackle purpose-built enduro stages near Priero. A private cellar lunch at a sustainable winery slides in mid-week. Two certified guides, a dedicated support van, daily bike care, and two boutique hotels handle the rest. Somewhere between the trails and the Nebbiolo, it all clicks. Let’s ride together!

The adventure, day by day

Seven days in Piedmont's UNESCO-listed Langhe hills on premium e-MTBs, split between two boutique hotels and five days of riding across vineyard singletracks, Alta Langa backcountry, and the legendary enduro stages of Priero. The e-bikes open up terrain that would otherwise chew through your legs, keeping the focus on flow, views, and the kind of days that only happen in Italy. A private winery cellar lunch breaks up the week mid-ride. Two certified guides handle everything on the ground, including daily bike care, so arriving back to the hotel each evening means switching gears from cycling to Piedmontese cuisine. Join one of Italy's most rewarding e-MTB weeks.

Day 1: Welcome to the Langhe
Welcome to Langhe

Upon arrival at the airport, you’ll be transferred into the heart of the Langhe hills via a private van. No riding today. The afternoon is for unpacking, professional bike assembly, and suspension setup with the guides. Once everything’s dialed, we gather in the hotel gardens for welcome drinks, introductions, and a briefing before the week begins.

Meals: Dinner
Accommodation: Villa Beccaris, Monforte d’Alba

Day 2: Roero singletrack exploration
Langhe woods E-mtb

A first full day in the saddle through the deep forests, sandy ridges, and medieval castle perches of the Roero hills. We ride fast flow trails, stopping for a traditional lunch along the route. The afternoon is free: time by the hotel pool, a wander through Monforte d’Alba, or simply letting the legs rest. Guides wash and prep the bikes for the morning.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Cycling: 40 km (25 mi), 5–6 hrs
Elevation: +800 m (+2,625 ft) / -800 m (-2,625 ft)
Accommodation: Villa Beccaris, Monforte d’Alba

Day 3: The Barolo vineyard loop
Barolo landscape

Deep into the rolling Langhe on e-MTBs, riding point-to-point through UNESCO-listed vineyard corridors. We thread through the legendary crus of Barolo, La Morra, and Monforte d’Alba on fast trails that cut straight through the vines, with snow-capped Alps stretching across the horizon. A stop in a traditional hilltop piazza breaks up the ride for a light lunch before the afternoon free at the hotel.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Cycling: 45 km (28 mi), 5–6 hrs
Elevation: +1,000 m (+3,280 ft) / -1,000 m (-3,280 ft)
Accommodation: Villa Beccaris, Monforte d’Alba

Day 4: Monforte, a winery, and the road to Borgomale
Wine tasting cellar

We check out of Monforte and open the day on the steepest, most technical singletracks in the area, with shuttle support to maximize downhill time. While we ride, luggage is transferred to our second base by the private van. Midday brings a stop at Rachilana, a family-run sustainable winery in the Langhe, for a private cellar tasting and a home-cooked Piedmontese lunch. We then transfer to Borgomale and settle in for the second half of the week.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Cycling: 30 km (19 mi), 5–6 hrs
Elevation: +700 m (+2,295 ft) / -700 m (-2,295 ft)
Accommodation: Relais Montemarino, Borgomale

Day 5: Alta Langa wild e-bike experience
Langhe bikers in woods

We push into the wilder, higher terrain of the Alta Langa straight from the hotel. The e-bikes earn their keep on the long climbs toward the backcountry of Castino, where a flowing network of natural singletracks cuts through hazelnut orchards and dense woodland. It’s a completely different landscape from the vineyard days: rougher, wider open, and more raw in feel. We stop for lunch on the trail before pedaling back.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Cycling: 40 km (25 mi), 5–6 hrs
Elevation: +1,100 m (+3,610 ft) / -1,100 m (-3,610 ft)
Accommodation: Relais Montemarino, Borgomale

Day 6: The enduro temple of Priero
Agriturismo lunch in italy

A private van takes us to Priero, a venue with serious pedigree in Italian Superenduro racing. Once there, the e-bikes carry us up and the trails carry us back down: fast, perfectly shaped bermed descents loaded with flow and technical features. Lunch is at a local agriturismo before the van returns us to the hotel for the final evening’s celebration dinner.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Cycling: 40 km (25 mi), 6–7 hrs
Elevation: +1,200 m (+3,940 ft) / -1,200 m (-3,940 ft)
Accommodation: Relais Montemarino, Borgomale

Day 7: Arrivederci, Langhe
Langhe vista

On the last day, we’ll have our final Italian breakfast at the hotel in Borgomale, then we’ll check-out and take a private van transfer back to Milan Malpensa Airport.
