TRIP ENQUIRY

During the Ligurian Adventure you will be staying in a mix of Hotels, B&B and mountain huts depending on the destination and availability. We normally start the trip in Finale Ligure and end the trip in either Sospel (close to Nice) but depending on your arrival/departure airport we can adjust the itinerary to end up closer to Finale Ligure should you fly in and out of Genova.

TRIP ENQUIRY

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

Skill Level Recommended:

Advanced

Roots, rocks, drops and tight switchbacks are no match for you even in steep and exposed terrain. You feel confident in riding longer trails with sustained technical features as well as handling some exposed sections with no-fall zones.

Fitness Level Recommended:

The Striving Prospect

You can pedal uphill 1 hour per day and climb 300m during consecutive days riding. You don't mind steep uphill climbs for about 10 to 15 minutes at the time. Downhill you happily ride up to 3000 verticals per day. You exercise on average 2 times per week.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
