S3 Trail, sequel to Fast and Furious

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.

Zuccarello was founded by the Clavesana family in 1248, who made the castle above it the feudal centre of the valley; it was then taken over by the Del Carretto family and, in 1625, by the Republic of Genoa.

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!

A show like no other!

S2 challenging for those like me who don't like descents with exposed rocks and roots, perfect for those with good technique.

Fun descent as always in the Finale area...be careful, some points are particularly "acidic"...
