Start riding in Finale Ligure — trails with a sea view

If you ride your mountain bike a lot, you probably already know Finale Ligure. This Italian bike wonderland on the Ligurian coast has been attracting bikers for years. The Finale Ligure cemented its place on the international MTB stage when the Enduro World Series (EWS) made it a stop in its annual event. It was, therefore, only logical that the FOCUS team could no longer escape the region’s spell. So, we packed our bags and headed to check out the 100+ trails.

What we found, blew our minds: the combination of ingeniously-built flow trails with natural mountain paths here is unique worldwide. The irresistible Italian flair that we experienced in Finale Ligure and in the medieval town of Finalborgo also made the experience extra special. To top it off, you can spend a few days sunbathing next to the Med after your rides. Oh, and we almost forgot, after an action-packed day outdoors, you can tuck into Italian food – perfection.

In this Collection, Fabi, Matze and Marco reveal their favorite routes that are easy to ride on both MTB and E-MTB. In Finale, you’ll often take a shuttle from trail to trail. Tough bikers like to pedal the uphills, which can be quite steep, themselves, but you can also have a little help from an e-mountain bike. We simply took both with us for testing and rode some of the trails with e-bikes. Nevertheless, the routes are also wonderful on a standard bike.

Traveling to Liguria from Germany is very easy. You can travel by train directly to Finale Ligure or drive via Brenner or Switzerland. Both options are convenient and comfortable. If you live a little further away, you can also fly to Milan or Genoa and then continue your journey by train.
