THE RIDE
03.
03.
We begin riding on wide forest roads, gradually climbing through dense woodland and quiet mountain terrain, setting an easy and comfortable pace. As we move deeper behind the mountain, the landscape opens up, offering clear views of Mount Mytikas from the back side, while staying completely within the forest zone. The ride remains non-technical, allowing riders to focus on the scenery and the rhythm of the mountain. We reach our highest point at approximately 1,400 meters, enjoying panoramic views and a short break to relax and take photos. The route enters the alpine area, maintaining a smooth and approachable character throughout. We follow long and flowing forest roads on a relaxed descent, riding back through the woods and enjoying the calm atmosphere of Olympus.
The ride finishes at our starting point, marking the end of a full-day eMTB experience on one of Greece’s most iconic mountains!
