Adventurous cycling stages in Liguria
Via del Sale winds its way through the Maritime Alps, providing a perfect blend of appropriately challenging trails, magical views, and a historical atmosphere. From Limone Piemonte, you climb up to high mountain areas where the mountain roads wind between dramatic peaks and steep mountainsides. Along the way, you get panoramic views of Piedmont and onwards towards the Ligurian coast.
The route follows old trade and military roads, and you will pass ruins of fortifications and ancient stone buildings that bear witness to the road's strategic importance throughout the ages.
Varying terrain and exciting challenges
The surface alternates between wide gravel roads, somewhat technical climbs, and fun descents. Some sections require good bike control, while others let you enjoy long flow trails through untouched mountain nature.
Accommodation
You will stay in cozy hotels and simple mountain huts with multi-bed rooms, where you can get a good rest after the day's adventures.
Italian food, local and flavorful
As always on our trips, food is important. You will eat locally and get the opportunity to try the unique specialities of Liguria. Perhaps this is Italian cuisine at its best – simple, flavorful dishes made with love for local ingredients.
