Description
Private Guided Tour・Pietra Ligure・2 4×4 uplift
Big mountains, raw terrain, and the most iconic stages of the Enduro World Series.This is the ultimate Pietra Ligure experience. Massive vertical drops and technical riding on the slopes of Monte Carmo. This tour is designed for riders who want to test their skills on the legendary stages that defined the EWS. A 40-minute uplift to Giogo di Giustenice kicks things off. From there, we drop straight into the trilogy: Hiroshima, Hell Boy 1, and Hell Boy 2. Over 5 km of pure adrenaline with high-speed compressions, berms, and technical drops. After a second uplift, we tackle the Oltrefinale and Stai Karmo lines, pure natural Pietra trails. This is where it gets real. A 650m climb (mix of pedaling and hike-a-bike) takes us back toward the peak. Packed lunch at the pass, then a final 30-minute push to the summit of Monte Carmo. The 360° view is the best in the region – soak it in, because the descent is brutal. Choose your weapon: the Karma Trail. Nearly 8 km of S4 rated, technical EWS history that drops you all the way down to Loano. Rocks, switchbacks, and pure physical riding.
