Beginner difficulty

If you’re looking for the ideal way to experience the island for the first time, this is it. Our Veli-Mali Intro route in just 17 kilometers, show an incredible variety of landscapes, viewpoints, and cultural highlights.

You’ll enjoy multiple opportunities for a refreshing swim, with access to beautiful spots on both the east and west sides of the island. The route includes several off-road sections, but they’re technically easy, mostly gravel, and typically quiet – making them enjoyable rather than demanding.

Early on, you’ll ride past the striking cliffs along the path through Vale Škura, where the scenery immediately sets the tone for what’s to come. As you explore the lesser-traveled gravel roads on the eastern side of the island, you’ll experience an area many visitors never see. With our premium e-bikes, these sections feel smooth and effortless, allowing you to focus on the views rather than the effort.

Continuing along the coast, you’ll pass the Church of the Virgin Mary before heading toward the lively town square of Mali Lošinj. From there, the route takes you through the most beautiful stretch of Čikat Bay and even along a portion of a historic WWII path, blending nature with a touch of heritage.

A few gentle climbs follow, rewarded by a fast and flowing downhill near the Garden of Fine Scents, gradually guiding you back toward Veli Lošinj. It’s hard to believe how much you can experience in such a compact and perfectly balanced ride.

Take your time, keep your eyes open for panoramic views, and don’t forget to capture the moments along the way.
