Overview

Program

description

Private Guided Tour・Spotorno / Vado / Le Manie・2 uplift

Starting from the heights of Nato Base and dropping straight toward the sea. We’ll bridge the gap between the mountains and the coast, riding through the rugged terrain of Spotorno, Vado Ligure, and the iconic plateau of Le Manie. Expect a complete mix of surfaces. We’ll tackle everything from fast, open ridges to the “white gold” limestone of the coast. The grip changes constantly—from grippy loam up high to loose gravel and technical rock gardens as we get closer to the water. This is where you’ll find the most scenic lines in the region, including the legendary DH Men.

Monte Mao & Mao Crest – Riding over the Blue

The Experience: The Mao Crest is one of the most iconic and scenic trails in the entire Riviera. This natural ridge overlooking the Spotorno and Bergeggi coastline offers a unique riding experience, suspended between the Mediterranean blue and the ligurian mountains.

World-Class Heritage: This isn’t just a trail; it’s a piece of mountain biking history. The Mao Crest gained international fame during the 2018 Enduro World Series (EWS). Watching the world’s fastest pro-riders tackle this technical ridge remains one of the most epic moments in enduro racing history.

Why Choose It:

Epic Scenery: Unmatched 360-degree views of the Gulf of Spotorno.

Technical Flow: A perfect mix of natural flow, rocky sections, and high-exposure riding.

Pro-Level Feeling: Ride the same lines that challenged the world champions back in 2018.

September, October, November, March, April and May are considered the best months for MTB riding in Finale Ligure thanks to stable temperatures, reduced summer traffic and optimal trail conditions. During these periods, the terrain typically offers the best balance between grip, dry surfaces and rideable natural singletracks, making the area ideal for enduro, shuttle-assisted riding and long technical descents. Spring and autumn also provide the most consistent riding conditions across zones such as Base Nato, Melogno and the Finale Outdoor Region, with cooler weather and excellent visibility on coastal and inland trails.
