What are the Best Cycling Routes for a Tour in Liguria?

Liguria is a haven for cyclists, with routes for every skill level, from leisurely rides along the coast to challenging climbs in the mountains.

The Riviera di Levante
Pedal along the eastern stretch of Liguria's coastline, where the sea meets the colorful villages of the Riviera di Levante. Ride through towns like Portofino, Rapallo, and Sestri Levante, enjoying flat, scenic routes that offer spectacular views of the Mediterranean. This route is perfect for those seeking a relaxing coastal experience.

The Cinque Terre
For more experienced cyclists, the Cinque Terre offers challenging routes with steep climbs and rewarding descents. Cycle through the famous five villages—Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore—each perched dramatically on the cliffs. This UNESCO World Heritage Site provides stunning panoramas and a one-of-a-kind cycling adventure.

The Riviera di Ponente
Explore the western coast of Liguria, known as the Riviera di Ponente, with its charming seaside towns like Alassio, Finale Ligure, and Sanremo. This area offers flat and moderate routes, ideal for both road cyclists and casual riders. The famous “Pista Ciclabile del Ponente Ligure,” a 24-kilometer cycling path along the coast, is perfect for a relaxing ride with breathtaking views.

The Ligurian Apennines
For those who prefer mountain biking, the Ligurian Apennines offer an incredible off-road experience. Explore trails through forests, vineyards, and olive groves, with routes leading to hilltop villages and panoramic viewpoints. This area is ideal for gravel and mountain bike enthusiasts looking for an adventure.
