Description

A day out in Italy to discover one of the most beautiful valleys of Liguria, just a stone's throw from the French border. After a gourmet stopover in the border town of Ventimiglia (typical market & seaside cycle lane), explore with us the Nervia valley and its most beautiful medieval villages, in particular Dolceacqua, its famous 7-century-old bridge immortalised by the painter Monet and its castle overlooking the medieval town. A real postcard in a natural gem! Depart from Ventimiglia station, easily accessible by train, for this extraordinary day out! After a few stops to soak up the flavours of Italy, we'll pedal leisurely along a seaside cycle path and join a riverside to follow the course of the Nervia valley to its most famous, wonderful and spectacular village: Dolceacqua, its medieval bridge and castle, its labyrinth of narrow streets under arcades and a tasting of local products (wines & olive oils). Optional visit to the castle (or free time or short walk). This village, which seduced the painter Monet, is particularly picturesque, with the intertwined history of the great Doria (Genoa) and Grimaldi (Genoa-Monaco) families. Lunch on your own A 2nd medieval village in the valley will take pride of place during this discovery tour (depending on the season and the participants' level of fitness), for example Rocchetta (or another wonderful village), with its incredible village, its succession of natural waterfalls & crystal-clear waters (a Mecca for canyoning and a remarkable natural site at the entrance to the Parco Naturale delle Alpi Maritime). Return to Ventimiglia via a spectacular panoramic road overlooking several valleys (if physical conditions permit) or via the cycle paths. A Premium Gourmet option includes breakfast, a typical restaurant full lunch & a projection in a multi-sensory 3D Cinema (35mn) to discover all the wonders of the Valley. LA DOLCE VITA BY E-BIKE... MAMMA MÍA!
