Grading

This trip involves 6 days cycling with daily distances between 25 to 50km/15.5 to 30.5mi. The cycle route is mainly along well-asphalted secondary roads with several long sections on paved cycling paths. As you approach larger towns you will cycle on roads with more traffic. The accent is on keeping a relaxed pace to take in all of the attractions, with time to stop and take photos. You will need a good level of fitness to participate fully in this adventure. The train line follows the Ligurian coast so if you don't feel like cycling the full distance on any day you can hop on the train with your bike in most villages along the way. *For safety reasons we insist that helmets be included as a compulsory item on your equipment list.

What You Carry

During the cycle day you will carry your daily requirements in the pannier provided with the bike. This may include your lunch, wet weather gear, mobile phone and water. A small daypack which can be kept inside the pannier is useful for sightseeing.

Mode of Transport

Travel includes a hybrid 27-speed rental bike with pannier, repair kit, odometer, and lock. E-bikes are available for a supplement. Luggage transfer is provided, and a train ticket from Arenzano to Genoa is required on the final day.
