ビオラのおすすめツーリングルート

Place frequented by many cyclists.

Castelvecchio Castle in Rocca Barbena dominates the medieval village of the same name, perched on a rocky spur in the Savona hinterland. A former stronghold of the Del Carretto marquises, it was built for military and defensive purposes, and its strategic location made it the fulcrum of feudal power over the valley below. Today, the imposing manor is reduced to a fascinating ruin, its ruins revealing centuries of history. Although no longer intact, the atmosphere surrounding it is highly evocative. Its crumbling walls and towers have become the symbol of the village, a true testament to its glorious past.

Just enjoy a good coffee and the sun.

Shuttles will go here if needed. Simply book a DIN ticket and say you'd like to go to the Forte.

Osteria del Din is located at 1,000 meters above sea level with a splendid view of the sea. The menu offers dishes prepared with fresh homemade pasta, game, 0 km vegetables and many other specialties. It is also a great place for a coffee break or an aperitif during or after a bike ride. A welcoming oasis to taste genuine dishes and enjoy the view.

The promenade. No longer crowded in the off-season.

View towards Albenga from Via per Gorra

It's true, we're talking about cycle tourism here... but it's worth spending some time visiting this beautiful village, or even just stopping to take a look, the view is superb! I rode the road downhill, but even uphill it must be a wonderful experience, given the slopes you encounter, never excessive and regular. The only flaw, the road in the valley, at least up to the detour to Castelvecchio, is always quite busy, even with heavy vehicles, so you need to be careful... even downhill!
