가레시오 최고의 사이클링 경로

리구리아와 피에몬테 사이의 이 언덕에서는 버려진 구조물이 특징이며, 약 3시간 안에 걸어서 몬테 갈레로 정상에 도달할 수 있습니다. 이 지역은 발전소로 에너지를 보내는 풍력 터빈으로 둘러싸여 있습니다.

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.

A truly magnificent view! In the distance, your gaze wanders over the snow-capped peaks of the Ligurian Alps, rising majestically against the horizon. It's a unique sight, unique only to Liguria: the majestic mountains blend with the gentle coastline, creating a panorama of rare beauty.

Panoramic viewpoint on the cycle path between Garessio and Ormea.

Bike path along the river. It's a bit of a roller coaster ride but the view is magnificent and you're far from the traffic. Lots of places to rest.

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!
