Freeride
|
For the adrenaline junkies in search of the ultimate freeride holiday Rivierabike will not disappoint!. Each of our descents are between 8km to 15km long and vary from steep technical singletrack to fast purpose built trails. The trails are the training grounds of Nico Voulioz and Remy Absalon and many bike brands such as Formula, Fox, MDE and other manufacturers test their equipment here. |

With 100s of kilometres of descents you will never need to ride the same trail twice. Having said that classics like Agrifoglio and Fantasia will suck you in time and time again. It takes 15 minutes bus shuttle to do an 1+ hour descent.......You won't get that ratio anywhere else! In a typical freeride week you will ride approx 30 runs, descend approx 20,000 vertical metres and over 200 - 250km. |
We have a new website dedicated to the Downhill and Freeride side of things, whether it be a full week or just a day tour. Check it out....

Freeride - Alpi del Mare - 2 Centre Week
This is a fully supported 2 centre based 7 day Freeride tour, taking in 4 regions of Western Liguria each with their own characteristics, terrain, towns, food and accommodation. We start at the swish seaside resort of Finale Ligure with its stunning sea view trails and long beech wood singletrack. Then to the alpine town of Calizzano and its fast flowing pine wood singletrack. Next to Val Argentina with its steep sides, long technical singletrack and the medieval town villages. And finally to the steep rocky slabs of San Remo.

What’s more.... to maximize the riding we provide 100% vehicle uplifts to all the trail heads and you will actually arrive at your next destination by bike! Your luggage will be transported separately and will be in your room upon your arrival.
Past guests have called this the most diverse week they have ever done, with such accolades as "it was better than Whistler!!!"

For the first three days your home will be Agriturismo Legiaire based in the mountain town of Calizzano. Here you will be welcomed by Rafaele and Fulvio to this beautiful old farmhouse which has a great vibe with it's own bar crammed with MTB'ers and even has its own bike park. Calizzano is centrally based between Finale Ligure and Nava, from here you are perfectly placed to ride all that is on offer. You will be guided by Fulvio and ride approximately 8 runs per day from the beech forests of Finale to the high open alpine trails of Ormea. |

On the fourth day you and your luggage will be picked up by Rivierabike. We will ride via the Val Tannaro and Colle di Nava before finally arriving in Val Argentina to your next base of Molini di Triora. You will be greeted by Andrea & Maria Chiara and stay at their charming hotel Santo Spirito for the remainder of your holiday. For the next two days you will ride the trails of Val Argentina and Nervia, here they are longer and more natural with plenty of drop offs, rock gardens and switchbacks. The final day we will ride the trails of San Remo, different again with big sandstone slabs and open sea views. |
