What you’ll do
Embark on a guided electric bike tour through Sierra Nevada National Park, renowned for its exceptional geography fostering a wealth of unique vegetation and insects found nowhere else in Europe. Traverse through this natural marvel, soaking in the breathtaking panoramas from the ski resort’s vantage point. From here, feast your eyes on unparalleled vistas of Granada Valley, the city itself, and the neighboring provinces of Málaga, Córdoba, Jaén, and Almería.
While Granada boasts an array of man-made wonders, including Spain’s most visited monument, it also offers a chance to commune with nature, epitomized by Sierra Nevada. This natural gem, sculpted by the interplay of Africa and Europe, houses the highest peak in the Iberian Peninsula: Mulhacén, soaring to 3,482 meters (11,400 feet) above sea level.
Escape the urban hustle and bustle and reconnect with nature and fresh air in this pristine setting. Following a 40-minute transfer from downtown Granada, the tour kicks off at 2,000 meters above sea level, gradually ascending to the ski resort and its pistes at 2,500 meters. Along the way, revel in the opportunity to pause and relish the magnificent vistas and wildlife that Sierra Nevada has to offer. The tour culminates at the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Snows, offering a serene moment of reflection.
Navigating primarily on paved roads, this tour is suitable for anyone comfortable riding a bike in an urban environment, promising an unforgettable blend of adventure and natural splendor.
Sports clothing is not essential although it is advisable to wear comfortable loose fitting clothes that allow ease of movement and we advise against wearing high heels or platforms, or sandals.

Hicimos el tour mi marido y yo y nos encantó. Además tuvimos la suerte de que todavía había nieve y estaba todo precioso. Para hacer el tour hay que saber montar bien en bici pero no hace falta estar muy en forma porque el motor ayuda mucho. Yo estoy menos acostumbrada a hacer kilómetros con la bici y lo pude hacer completo sin problemas. Puedes regular la cantidad de ayuda del motor, así que casi cualquiera puede hacerlo. Además, tanto Jose como Mike son muy amables y se adaptaron en todo momento al ritmo del grupo. Una excursión diferente y cerca de Granada, ¡¡totalmente recomendable!!
