Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE CAVES

Grotta dei Falsari — a sea‑facing grotto

The tour reaches the Grotta dei Falsari (also called Antro dei Briganti), a distinctive cave that opens to the sea and delivers a striking, almost theatrical coastal panorama.

THE ARCHAEOLOGY

Arma delle Mànie — a prehistoric shelter set above Finale

High above the town, the Arma delle Mànie is a suggestive archaeological site of prehistoric origin and forms the inland, historical counterpoint to the sea caves.

THE VILLAGE

Finalborgo — a medieval finish

After ridge and coastal riding the route drops to Finalborgo, where medieval streets provide a calm, atmospheric end to the day’s exploration.

What the day feels like

What the ride feels like

Over roughly six hours you cover about 20 km with 400 m of elevation gain on high‑end, dual‑suspension e‑mountain bikes. The flow moves from a sea‑side departure in Noli to cliffside caverns, then inland up to a prehistoric shelter, and finally along the old Roman‑bridge road into the medieval streets of Finalborgo; pace and route variations are adjusted to participant ability.
