TOUR 1 - EASY - Start the mountain bike

Difficulty: EASY

  • Ascent to San Bernardino

  • 24h di Finale
  • Brig Left Trail
  • Return to the campsite

Description: a beautiful excursion to learn about the trails of Finale.

The electric MTB is particularly suitable for overcoming the most demanding climbs. After a first ascent in asphalt up to the hill of San Bernardino you proceed with a long false dirt floor, the Cucco Trail, crossing pine forests and Mediterranean scrub. From all sides there are trails of high difficulty, such as the Dolmen Trail, Traliccio and Pianarella. Continuing straight however you come to the funniest section, a fun single trail that alternates short technical descents with sudden climbs on stone. Eventually you reach the climbing walls of Monte Cucco, where you can stop and catch your breath in the shade.

Continuing towards the village of Orco Feglino on asphalt you reach the small cemetery, where another fun and flow motorcycle trail starts: Val Nava Trail. You descend quickly on very compact ground, taking advantage of the parabolics and artfully built banks to arrive in a wonderful ravine between limestone cliffs up to 80 meters, a natural gym of rare beauty for climbing lovers.

At the end of the trail you return to asphalt, crossing the Sciusa stream to get to the parts of Verzi. Here the road starts to rise again, first on asphalt, then on dirt, finally on the single Ponti Romani, a beautiful and very popular climb to get to the Manie plateau.

Here we walk the ring of the 24h of Finale, an epic competition between breathtaking views overlooking the sea and very fast paths in the Mediterranean scrub. At the end of the loop with the Toboga Trail, one of the most famous trails in Finale, we return to Finale Ligure, following various lesser-known paths, to conclude with the more technical Briga Destra Trail and Ciottolato Trail, which take us back to the Finalpia area.
