Our home trails.
We're riders from Rocchetta Nervina. Ride with us on the Val Nervia trails we look after, from the river to the ridgelines.
Things to do
Four ways to explore the valley by bike
A local cycling club welcoming riders from near and far. We guide visitors from Italy and abroad, run skills courses and work on the trails in winter.
Guided MTB rides
Half-day or full-day rides with a local guide, on a route suited to your group.
Skills courses
For beginners and riders looking to build confidence on technical terrain. Small groups.
Bike Shuttle
We take you up in our van, with your bike on the trailer. You focus on the descent.
Bike rentals
Hardtails, full-suspension bikes and e-MTBs, checked after every ride. Helmet and gloves included.
When to visit
Year-round riding, just a short hop from the sea
Dawn rides and dips in natural pools
We head out early while the woods are cool and round off the morning by the Barbaira river. In the afternoon, the shuttle takes you higher up to cooler air.

Toraggio ridgelines
High trails, sweeping views and long descents
The valley’s highest trails, beneath Monte Toraggio: tackle the demanding climbs or take the shuttle, then enjoy technical descents with views all the way to the sea.

Upper valley
Deep woods and stone villages
Towards Pigna, the trails lead into the woods: soft ground, summer shade and routes through the villages of the hinterland.

Find the right ride for you
A ride can be easy to handle but involve a long climb, or short yet technical. That's why we always explain the technical difficulty, physical effort and skills required.
Easy-going
Gravel tracks and wide trails. You just need to know how to brake and change gear.
Intermediate
Roots and loose rocks. You need to be able to ride out of the saddle and control your braking.
Technical
Steps and tight switchbacks. You need to be able to shift your weight at low speed.
Expert
Exposed sections, drops and rocky terrain. For riders with enduro experience.
Trail care
We maintain the trails we ride
We cut back brambles after the rain, dig drainage channels on steep sections and report landslides. Everyone is welcome at our trail maintenance days.
