Mountain Bike
The superstar of Liguria, the Mecca of national mountain biking. Call it what you want, but Finale Ligure is always Finale Ligure.
All year round teams come to train, brands to try new materials, and enthusiasts to enjoy the spectacular trails of the Finale area, many of which have sea views.
Finale Ligure, Capital of the outdoors, is a paradise for mountain biking. The range is immense: with its 1370 km of cycle paths it is a real playground, in which everyone can find the path suitable for their needs and abilities: beginners and competitors, long excursion enthusiasts and lovers of single tracks, enduro fans looking for technically challenging routes, as well as the most reckless downhiller.
Freeride enthusiasts will find a variety of Bike Shuttle services for motorised ascents and a great variety of trails.
Those who love cycling will find dozens of enduro or XC routes where they can work on their riding skills.
If you are not familiar with the area, you can book a MTB Guide who will accompany you on your outings.
MTB trails in Finale Ligure:
THE MANIE
The Altopiano delle Manie plateau extends into the hinterland of Finale Ligure, behind Varigotti.
The route of the “24hrs of Finale” winds through this plateau (download the GPS track) and passes from easy-riding sections deep in the greenery to technical single-tracks overlooking the sea, with breathtaking views.
For those who love All Mountain, there are several single-tracks that descend the slopes of Varigotti and Noli: Ponti Romani, La Briga and the most famous descents of Finale Ligure DH Men and DH women.
SAN BERNARDINO
Behind Final Marina lies S.Bernadrino, full of tracks characterised by slabs of rock that make them unique and often uneven ground, for lovers of technical driving, including Dolmen, Ruggetta and Ca del Vacche.
CAPRAZOPPA / BORGIO VEREZZI
The west side of Finale Ligure is abutted by Caprazzoppa, a steep hill that conceals several XC – AM itineraries and a “Hard” trail, reminiscent of Bondi and Xmen.
PIAN DEI CORSI / BASE NATO
Going deeper into the hinterland, you come across Colle del Melogno hill. The eastern side is called Pian dei Corsi and it is a Freeride paradise. Some itineraries for passionate cyclists ascend the entire hill, involving a difference in altitude exceeding 1000 metres, before descending to the valley in one fell swoop by the various trails taking you to Finalborgo or Feglino. Base Nato, Madre Natura, Ingegnere and Crestino are just some of the many that characterise this area.
MELOGNO
Some very long and enjoyable trails start from the top of the Melogno. Descent is via the Isallo and Calice Ligure slopes. Various XC and AM itineraries are possible, along with some Freeride descents: Toboga, Rollercoaster, Cacciatori and Kill Bill
And after a day on the bike, you can relax in the charming medieval village of Finalborgo, sampling a typical Ligurian aperitif, or you can relax on the beach and enjoy a sunset by the sea sipping your beer, well deserved after a day on the fantastic trails of this paradise.
