There are a number of ways you can arrive at Rivierabike including a Mediterranean cruise liner!

However for the more modest of us Rivierabike is very well served by 2 airports and a good rail network not to mention we are only 30 minutes from the autostrada.


Travel by Air

The quickest way to reach us is by flying with an average flying time of 1hr 50 minutes from London. Rivierabike is served by 2 airports:

Nice (France) which has a transfer time of 1hr 30 minutes

Genova (Italy) which has a transfer time of 2hrs

Both these airports are served by the budget airlines, such as Easyjet & Ryanair, and if booked early enough you can fly at bargain prices. We once managed to get a return flight for £30 return (plus taxes). Rivierabike will collect you from the airport. Most carriers will accept bicycles either in the cost or as an additional extra (about £30-40 rtn but check with the airline).

Please note that our package costs include transfers to and from Nice airport only. Transfers from Genova is subject to availability and additional costs. Please contact us for further details.

Pick up and drop off time will be around noon so ensure that your flight arrival and check in for departure is around that time.

So get booking and take advantage of those cheap flights!

Travel by Rail

Rivierabike can be easily reached by rail. The European train system is nothing like the slow unreliable old stock in the UK. With the channel tunnel and fast modern trains such as the Eurostar/TGV, you can travel at speed in comfort and style should driving or flying not be your thing.

Our closest station is Taggia, which is a 20 minute car ride from our base in Molini di Triora. Rivierabike can collect you from the train station.

For 20012/13 a completely new rail line will be opened which will allow the Eurostar and TGV to reach Taggia.

Taggia can be easily reached from Genova and Nice on the regional lines. The Eurostar and Italian TGV’s serve these City’s.

Travel by Road

To reach Rivierabike by car takes approximately 12 hours from Calais. However this journey is often broken by a stop or two in the Champagne regions of France or a trip through Belgium, Germany and Switzerland.

Rivierabike is 30 minutes drive from the Autostrada A10 which in itself is a fantastic road to drive, with beautiful views high over the med to the south and the Alps to the North. It is mostly constructed of tunnels and bridges cutting through the valleys. Often you find a Ferrari or Lamborghini opening up the throttles in the tunnels leaving a thunderous roar in their wake.

Getting to Rivierabike in Molini di Triora from the A10 Autostrada (Motorway): 
(Our location is marked by the red star)

Take the San Remo Est / Arma di Taggia exit from the autostrada. After you have paid the toll follow the road tdown owards Taggia / Triora (SP 548). Molini di Triora is about 20km up the SP 548 road, straight up the Argentina Valley.
