Before we start pedaling, we provide a briefing on the basic principles of E-mountain biking (bike stance, braking, pedal efficiency, etc). Begin with a gradual uphill on mostly paved roads through dense black pine forests, warming up as the gradient increases. The descent is the highlight: ride technical singletracks, rocky paths, and flowing forest trails, with stops for panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Stop at viewpoints overlooking the Aliakmonas River dam, perfect for photos and enjoying the impressive scenery.
Return to Velvedos village, where a cold beverage is waiting. Time to relax and share all the tales from the trails!
