description

The Mix Back Country ride experience is designed for bikers who enjoy adrenaline-pumping single trails. During this experience, we will discover the trails of Bardineto and Castelvecchio, two small villages in the Ligurian hinterland that are home to an extensive trail network. At the end of each trail, a smile will be plastered on your face and your eyes will be filled with views. We will have lunch in a typical Italian osteria in the village of Castelvecchio, an ancient medieval hamlet, which is well worth a visit.

In the morning a mechanised ascent will take us to the Melogno pass and from here a short ride through the Barbottina forest will take us to the start of the first trail, which will end in the village of Bardineto. An espresso coffee on the fly and then off to Monte Sravaion, which will make us sweat a little, but will give us great emotions with its views and one of the most fun trails of the entire Finale Outdoor Region. At this point, a short asphalt transfer will take us to the start of Supercanaletta, a trail with which we conclude the morning’s riding and which will allow us to reach the restaurant in Castelvecchio. Italian food, espresso coffee, a peek at the village and then ready for two more iconic trails in the area. At the end of the last trail, a short asphalt transfer will take us to the shuttle and then aperitivo in Finale.
