In this guided cycling tour, you’ll first take the gondola to the summit of the ski slope. From the gondola, the scenery of the mountains and seasonal flowers will take your breath away. At the summit, there is a vast flat area where you can ride your bike. Be prepared to get an unbeatable scenery of the forest below at the open panoramic point, all while sipping a nice cup of coffee available at the summit. Ride to your heart’s content at any speed as the bicycles run stably on snow. Beginners can readily take part as a guide will be assisting you throughout.
