About this tour
Ride electric mountain bikes along Granada's decommissioned Sierra Nevada tramway, a 19th-century engineering feat that once linked the city to Spain's highest peaks. This four-hour route threads through carved tunnels, crosses dramatic stone bridges, and opens onto sweeping views of the mountain range. E-bikes handle the elevation gain, so you can focus on the history unfolding beneath your wheels and the raw Andalusian landscape around each bend.
Highlights
- Rocky tunnels carved for the original mountain railway
- Stone viaducts spanning deep ravines
- Sierra Nevada vistas from the old tram corridor
- Electric assist makes steep grades manageable
- Accessible to varying fitness levels and mobility needs
- Private transport to and from the trailhead
What to expect
You'll start with a briefing on your e-bike and safety gear, then follow the ghosted tram route upslope through pine and oak forest. The path alternates between open ridgeline sections and shadowed tunnel passages where you can still see the old railway fixtures embedded in stone. Gradients are steady rather than punishing, thanks to the motor assist. Most riders find the rhythm meditative—there's time to absorb the engineering ingenuity and survey the valleys below without gasping for breath.
Good to know
Bring water and sun protection. The tunnels stay cool even in summer. E-bikes handle most terrain, but expect gravel and rocky sections. Infant seats and prams are available for younger children. Helmets and insurance are provided.
