This is a perfect cycling holiday spot, a continuous up and down ride, where we start our amazing bike experience.
We stop in some of the famous characteristic villages to have a delicious “cappuccino and cornetto”.
Cerreto Langhe, Monforte d’Alba, Barolo, Diano d’Alba some of these enchanting little towns where we go through peaceful back roads.

A delicious dinner tasting local organic wine closes this first day.

Day 3

The amazing Langhe. 68km.

Our Bike tour today takes us in the southeast Langhe area. Departing from Alba we head to our first town of the day: Canelli. This area and the Asti Spumante white wine, was appointed a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014.

Keeping on riding we meet other interesting, important old towns: San Stefano Belbo, Bubbio, Benevello and many more. We enjoy an unforgettable cycling day, far from the traffic and deep in a fairy tale atmosphere.

We can’t miss our daily “espresso and cappuccino” in some of these old village squares.This evening we deserve to drink a refreshing “Spritz” as an appetizer, just before a rewarding and delicious dinner.

Day 4

Heading to the Sea. 72 km.

Today we have to pack because our cycling road towards the Ligurian Sea is our next challenge.

Our bike tour today takes us in a different scenery, slowly we pass from the vineyard countryside to wild hills.This area divides the Piemonte Region from the Liguria Region, we ride through rolling hills, dealing with some demanding but short ascents followed by amusing descents.

The road between Murazzano and Montezemolo, a road that runs on a hill ridge with a breathtaking view on the both sides, is really beautiful .

Millesimo, a village in Val Bormida in the Parco Naturale Regionale di Bric Tana is our goal today. This evening we have a new typical dinner, we try new flavors and taste a new kind of wine.

Day 5

From the Mountains to the Sea.

Today our bike tour takes us in a mountain area, pedaling through some little pretty mountain villages, we get to Calizzano. Here our ascent starts, it is 9 km long at 400 m and an average slope of 5%.

This easy ascent takes place in a beautiful beech wood that ensures a bit of cool also during the heat of the day, we ride in an Alpine atmosphere, we are in the Alpi Marittime area.

At 1027 m above sea level, here we can admire some old barracks and a fortress built in 1883.

Finally, we can see the Ligurian sea, we have to deal with a technical but amusing descent. This descent is 18 km long and takes us from the mountain pass to the beach.

As a reward for our effort, a cool “Spritz” is waiting for us on the beach.

Day 6

The Ligurian Sea Cicrcuit. 65 km.

Another completely different cycling day.

Liguria is really famous for its extraordinary sea and beaches, but is also well-known for its immaculate backcountry full of flower crops, one of the most important products of this area.

We leave our accommodation after an energetic breakfast and start to climb up towards one of the countless tiny villages overlooking the sea.

With the mountains on one side and the sea on the other, we reach some beautiful natural terraces with a breathtaking sea view, and after a descent we can ride our last kilometers on the Milano-Sanremo road alongside the coast.

Our last dinner, in an exclusive terrace on the sea, closes this unique bike tour from Piemonte to the Sea.
