Liguria - and the Italian Riviera above all, where Diano Marina is located - has a temperate climate
that allows cycling even in the colder months, from the end of February to the end of November.
If you’re looking for routes to put your legs to the test, you’re in the right place. Indeed, in
Liguria you will find a continuous alternation of climbs and descents of varying lengths and
difficulty. Altitudes of more than 1000 metres can be reached, for an experience worthy of the most
experienced cyclist.
Not to mention the most famous cycleway in Italy, completely paved and 24km long.
The Ponente Ligure Cycleway is perfect for the less experienced cyclists, with its long flat
route that runs along coastline, for an ideal amalgam of nature, beauty, health and
relaxation.
Where there are mountains there are climbs and where there are climbs there is always someone who is eager to climb them to relish the shot of adrenalin of rushing down the other side.
This is even more sensational if the backdrop is the marvellous scenery of the Italian
Riviera, and the Alta Via Dei Monti Liguri in particular. This route is more than 400 km
long and runs through Liguria, from Ventimiglia to La Spezia, offering views of
scattered forts and villages in a landscape enclosed between the mountains and the sea.
At Diano Marina fun on an MTB is also guaranteed at the Golfo Dianese bike park with its 6
trails and more than 200 km of dirt tracksfor Cross Country, Enduro, All Mountain and E-Bike
riding, made even easier by the Bike Shuttle Service.
This is the bike park where there is the Antenne route, the most famous of Diano Marina,
because it has the legendary “Salto nel blu”, a panoramic descent with breath-taking view
that is famous throughout Europe.
