Cycling
Piedmont, and especially the area around Casa Bonta and Acqui Terme, is a paradise for cycling enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you want to tackle the mountains on a mountain bike, explore the surroundings on an e-bike, or take on the challenge of road cycling, there’s something suitable for everyone.
Many guests bring their own bikes, but for those who prefer to travel without extra baggage, there are rental options available around Acqui Terme. Various choices are offered: mountain bikes, e-mountain bikes, and regular e-bikes to explore the Italian roads in a relaxed manner. E-bikes, in particular, are ideal for those who want to climb the hills without too much effort and fully enjoy everything Piedmont has to offer.
Mountain Biking
In recent years, e-mountain bikes have become increasingly popular, especially in this mountainous region. They make it easier to embark on longer rides and enjoy nature without too much effort. There are trails for every level, whether you prefer relaxed cross-country riding on not-too-extreme paths, or if you’re seeking adrenaline on more challenging routes.
When renting e-mountain bikes, you can choose between models with only front suspension or models with both front and rear suspension, depending on the level of comfort and control you’re looking for. For those who prefer guided rides, there is also the option to hire a guide. This guide can take you on trails that match your skill level, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced biker.
Road Cycling
For dedicated road cyclists, Piedmont is a challenging playground. The hills offer numerous routes with tough climbs and breathtaking descents. It’s a popular challenge for both local cyclists and visitors.
Among the cyclists staying at Casa Bonta, there’s even a small competition on Strava for the famous “Casa Bonta climb,” where riders compete for the fastest time on the slope back to the house.
Exploring the region on an E-Bike
If you prefer to explore the region at a more leisurely pace, you can also rent a regular e-bike. With an e-bike, you can effortlessly ride over the Italian roads through the wine yards and enjoy the stunning landscape. Stop along the way for a delicious lunch or a wine tasting.
Whether you love the adventure of mountain biking, the freedom of riding through Italian mountain roads, or the thrill of a tough climb, Piedmont offers a cycling experience you won’t soon forget. Bring your bike or rent one, and discover the beautiful routes while enjoying everything this versatile region has to offer.
