Hotel San Pietro Palace in Finale Ligure is perfectly situated right by the sea, only a few steps away from the main plaza. The building dates back to the 17th Century and has recently been transformed into, what we believe, the ultimate bike hotel. With each of our rooms overlooking the ocean and a secure dedicated bike room, it is not unusual to be excited to return back to the hotel after a long day of riding.

Hotel Medusa is a family run bike hotel on the seaside promenade in Finale Ligure. With its great hospitality and great location, staying at Hotel Medusa will be a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The hotel offers various room options from single rooms to family apartments catered to your specific needs.

Arrival day

Arrive at the airport and be greeted by one of our representatives who will drive you to our hotel in Finale Ligure. Get set-up and check that all your gear is in order and ready for your next three days of riding.

Day 1 - 3

Three full days of Jeep assisted mountain biking with access to Finale Ligure's secret backcountry trails. We start the trip with a few warm-up laps of the classics, such as The Rollercoaster, Kill Bill and X-Men trail. Once we are all familiar with our bikes we will head into the backcountry to explore Finale Ligure's hidden trails and local favourites.

Let's be honest, Italy has great mountain biking but the food is almost as important. We will stop for lunch at different local favourites to enjoy the best local cuisine. Each day is ends with an apres-bike drink somewhere in the bustling centre of Finale Ligure , by the beach or maybe in the charming old town, Finale Borgo.

Departure day

Normally a relaxed morning with breakfast followed by a morning swim for those who want to before we finish the trip transfer back to the airport. Should you have an evening flight or arrive by your own car, there is a possibility to add one additional day of biking before heading back home in the afternoon/evening.

TRIP ENQUIRY

Finale Ligure offers biking for all kinds of levels but we recommend that you are at least an intermediate to advanced rider to enjoy all the secret trails we plan to show you.

Skill Level Recommended:

Intermediate

You have ridden a enduro and/or downhill mountain bike at least 10 times and master root sections and rock gardens as long as it's not too steep. You still handle the steeper trails while they are not too technical.

Fitness Level Recommended:

The Happy Amateur

You can pedal your bike uphill at least 30 minutes per day and climb 150m during several consecutive days. Downhill you can ride 1500 vertical meters per day before the notorious cramp makes an entrance. You exercise on average at least once per week.
