From lake to mountain: e-bike tours and charging convenience

As one of the largest tourist destinations in Switzerland, the Ascona-Locarno holiday region is perfect for e-bike exploration. This makes it easy to reach even remote villages and natural attractions. To ensure you don’t run out of power along the way, there are charging stations throughout the region where you can recharge your bike for free.

E-bike routes
Whether easy or challenging, long or steep, between the lake and palm trees or nestled in an alpine landscape – Lake Maggiore offers tour suggestions for every taste and season.

With its expansive, breathtaking natural landscapes, the region around Lake Maggiore provides perfect conditions for e-bike tours. The mild temperatures make it possible to explore all year round. However, autumn holds a special charm: the clear, sunny days invite you to fully enjoy nature. A steel-blue sky stretches over vibrantly coloured forests, while emerald-green rivers wind through the valleys and sunlight dances on the crystal-clear lakes. The hustle and bustle of daily life fades away, time slows down – an ideal moment for an excursion on two wheels.

Charging stations
Throughout the region, there are state-of-the-art charging stations where you can recharge your e-bike for free. The charging stations are equipped with five original charging cables: Yamaha, Shimano, Bosch, Brose, and Specialized. Additionally, there are four outlets (two Swiss plugs and two Schuko plugs, 220V).

Set off on your chosen tour with your e-bike – ready for an unforgettable adventure. Before departure, it’s advisable to check that everything is working properly and, if necessary, make any last-minute repairs in the hotel workshop. Once on the road, a world full of discoveries unfolds. The Ascona-Locarno region captivates with its stunning, varied natural landscapes, characterized by idyllic villages, impressive structures, and architectural highlights. Renowned churches, imposing dams, and hidden attractions invite you to marvel.

Of course, no sporty adventure day would be complete without culinary delights. A delicious lunch or a hearty afternoon snack also provides the perfect opportunity to take a break and recharge your e-bike at one of the many charging stations, preventing any unexpected power shortages along the way. Since 2024, the network of charging stations throughout the region has been operational and is continuously being expanded to ensure comprehensive coverage. With a fully charged battery, the exploration can continue – perhaps another ascent awaits, offering spectacular views and new experiences.
