The experience

Peneda Gerês National Park spreads across northern Portugal with trails most visitors never reach. An e-bike lets you cover 35km of them in a morning without arriving exhausted. The motor handles the steep climbs and the long stretches, so you stay fresh enough to actually look around. You get a KTM Macina Kapoho 2024 with helmet, gloves and sunglasses, plus a GPS unit loaded with your route so you navigate alone at whatever pace suits the day.

The route passes Mosteiro de Ermelo, a monastery built in the late 13th century and converted to a church in 1441, and winds through Soajo, a village where traditional stone granaries still stand in use for storing corn. The architecture there is typical of the region: the kind of detail you spot when you're moving slowly enough to notice. The 35km can be adjusted to match your fitness and comfort. The operator designs it around who you are, not a fixed itinerary everyone follows.

You ride independently with the GPS route, though a guide is available as an extra fee if you'd rather have someone explain what you're seeing. Personal insurance and civil liability coverage come with the bike. Children from age 2 can join if they're in a specialized infant seat. A transfer from Porto is available for an additional cost if you need it.
