FROM THE DEEP WOODS TO THE INFINITE BLUE

finale ligure ⟶ alassio

The essence of Ligurian riding: from ancient woods to the deep blue sea. We start from Colle del Melogno for a total immersion in the Barbottina Forest.

Led by certified MTB guides, riders will tackle natural singletracks and technical descents through roots and rocks. We’ll cross the medieval village of Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena before a shuttle transfer to the Alassio hills.

The finale is pure adrenaline: a scenic descent that dives straight to the beach for a sunset celebratory beer.

THE TIBETAN VILLAGE OF THE ALPS

Looking at this photo, you might think we’ve flown to the Himalayas, but this is Saorge.

It’s known as the ‘Tibetan Village’ of France because it’s built entirely on a sheer rock face.

For centuries, it was a strategic fortress on the Salt Way, and today it remains a place of silence: it’s one of the few villages in Europe where cars are completely banned. Exploring its narrow stone alleys with our bikes feels like traveling back in time.
