About this tour
Pedal through Provence's ochre badlands on a guided e-bike ride lasting three hours and forty-five minutes. Based from Apt or Bonnieux, you'll roll past olive groves, vineyards, and (seasonally) lavender fields with a local guide who knows every switchback. The route includes the Ocher Trail—a signature stretch where russet cliffs frame your path. Electric assistance means less grunt, more scenery.
Highlights
- Ochre Trail loop with dramatic cliff-face backdrops
- Olive and lavender fields in their seasonal glory
- GIANT e-bikes with modern drivetrain tech
- Native guide shares regional insider knowledge
- Pickup from Apt or Bonnieux village base
What to expect
You'll meet your guide at one of two starting points, collect your e-bike and helmet, then head into quiet country lanes and forest tracks. The electric motor softens climbs without flattening the experience—you're still riding, just without the oxygen debt. Expect red and orange soil beneath your wheels, views across the Luberon valleys, and a guide who reads the landscape like a local. The route sticks to established paths, nothing technical, but there's genuine climbing. Three hours forty-five minutes keeps you moving; breaks happen naturally at viewpoints.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spine issues or weak cardiovascular fitness. Helmets and repair kits provided. E-bikes handle most fitness levels, but some prior bike experience helps. Public transport serves both starting towns. Bring water and sun protection.
