Trip details
Day 1: Switzerland - Diano Marina
Coach journey to Liguria.
Day 2: The hinterland of Diano Marina
We set off from the hotel to explore the enchanting hinterland of Diano Marina. Across gentle hills and through olive groves, we reach charming medieval villages that showcase the allure of Liguria. One highlight is Diano Castello with its four town gates. In the afternoon there is time to visit the idyllic little town of Cervo. 30 km
Day 3: Santo Stefano al Mare - Sanremo
We travel by coach to Santo Stefano al Mare. From there we set off along the coastal cycle path to Arma di Taggia. We discover the famous Taggiasca olive on a visit to a local grower and explore a revived artists' village in the hinterland. We then return to the coast and continue along the cycle path to Sanremo, where we have time to visit the old town, the elegant promenade and the Casino square. 32 km
Day 4: Alassio
Our cycle tour begins in Andora. Here we leave the sea behind and follow the route into the green hinterland. From Stellanello, the first climb awaits, up to Testico, where magnificent views over the Ligurian landscape are in store. We then roll back down the valley towards the coast and reach the elegant seaside resort of Alassio. Coach journey back to Diano Marina. 48 km
Day 5: Imperia and Cipressa
Our cycle tour starts in Imperia. Through the idyllic hinterland we ride to the charming village of Dolcedo. With electric assistance, we climb to the highest point of the stage and enjoy breathtaking views. We follow part of the legendary route of the Milan-Sanremo cycle race and experience a real Giro feeling on Ligurian roads. 42 km
Day 6: In the footsteps of Monet
Our final cycle tour begins in Bordighera. Following the River Nervia, we ride to the picturesque village of Dolceacqua, which inspired Monet to paint his famous works. Here we taste the regional Rossese red wine from the Nervia Valley. We then continue to the medieval village of Apricale. On the way back, we once again enjoy the wonderful view of the Riviera dei Fiori. 40 km
