The Ullastret Electric Safari is a half-day e-bike adventure that blends the thrill of exploration with the ease of electric assistance, making it perfect for those who want to experience the rugged beauty of La Selva forests without the intensity of a full-day climb. With just two hours in the saddle, this moderate ride covers 82 kilometers and 573 meters of elevation gain, all on smooth tarmac and paved greenways that weave through some of Catalonia’s most dramatic landscapes. The route is self-guided, allowing you to set your own pace as you glide past the rolling hills and dense woodlands that define this region.

Your journey begins at the Sarrià de Ter bridge, where the first stretch of tarmac leads you toward the Coll de Malla, a scenic climb that offers sweeping views of the valley below. The electric assist on your bike turns even the steepest inclines into effortless glides, letting you focus on the surroundings—crumbling stone walls, rustling pine trees, and the distant hum of the Fluvià River cutting through the terrain. The route then descends toward Ullastret, a quiet village where time seems to slow, before following the riverbanks on a winding, shaded path. The Fluvià’s waters shimmer in the sunlight, reflecting the sky in a way that makes every photo stop feel like a moment frozen in time.

One of the highlights of this tour is the coffee break at Forn de la Vila, a charming local bakery where the aroma of freshly baked pastries mingles with the scent of strong Catalan coffee. Here, you can rest your legs, recharge, and soak in the atmosphere before continuing along the riverbanks, where the path widens into a peaceful greenway. The final stretch of the ride is a relaxed cruise, the breeze carrying the faintest hint of wild herbs and damp earth. Whether you’re a leisure cyclist looking to cover some ground or a nature lover eager to explore off the beaten path, this ride offers the perfect balance of adventure and ease, all while showcasing the wild, untamed beauty of La Selva.
