​

Basecamp: 

​

For the first 3 nights, we will be based in the stunning hills behind Finale, in a tiny village called Colle del Melogno, in a beautiful setting overlooking the hills & the sea, situated 16km from Finale center or 25min by car. (Just above the start of rollercaoster trail). Then we head down to experience the hustle & bustle of Finale for the last two nights. This is a great combination of getting a feel for the rural, quiet hinterland & the vibrant "city" in one trip. 

​

​

Level 4 - 5:

​

We have to put a note that riding in Finale Ligure and its surroundings is not easy. For a rider to enjoy their time on the trails here you need to have at least an intermediate level. You need to be able to choose a line, be comfortable with natural rock and uneven terrain, so this specific trip is not suitable for beginners as you need to be comfortable riding steep, loose & rocky terrain. Don't be scared away though, we have a great mixture of trails to keep the stoke levels high and to ease into things. We will be doing a mixture of shuttles & pedaling, but don't be fooled, you still need to be fit & strong to make your way down the mountain. Full face helmets & knee pads are mandatory for this trip (Bring both a full face & open face).

​

​

Fitness Level 3 - 5: 

​

You need to consider yourself an avid mountain biker, who loves to get out there and ride a few times a week, you like to push yourself and is always up for a challenge. A good attitude is way more important than anything else. You need to be able to ride solid back to back days; again, the fitter & stronger you are, the more enjoyable these trips will be for you. Even though this trip is shuttle heavy, we will still be pedaling some.

​

​

Beginner intro to Yoga:

​

Depending on how the day unfolds, we will start off our day with a morning yoga flow / stretch. Don't be frightened off; this is an introduction to yoga & how it can help & benefit your everyday life & also improve your mountain biking - and more biking is always a good thing ;) Please note that on some days we will not be able to practise due to logistics. Also, this is NOT mandatory, join us if you'd like, but also feel free to sleep in if you'd prefer. This is not bootcamp!
