What's it about? Old military roads and perfect single trails in the hinterland of Finale Ligure: a fairytale area for a mountain bike crossing! With Harald Philipp, Stefan Eberharter, Sonja Sanwald and Mathias Marschner we experience a region where time seems to have stood still. Author: Michael Düchs Ancient places with narrow alleys that cling to the slopes like swallows' nests, surrounded by a vast mountain and hill landscape characterized by endless forests: beyond the densely built-up coastal strip, Liguria is an area straight out of a fairytale book. Liguria is also a fairytale area for anyone who likes to go mountain biking because the mountains here are criss-crossed by a gigantic network of old trade and military routes, which provide perfect and varied single trails for mountain biking. Crossing the Ligurian hinterland by mountain bike had long been on our wish list of tours that we wanted to film for Bergauf-Bergab. Last spring, it finally worked out: accompanied by mountain bike guides Sonja Sanwald and Mathias Marschner, we cycled from Finale Ligure to Ventimiglia in several day stages. We immersed ourselves in fascinating landscapes, rode endless and beautiful trails together with mountain bike professionals Harald Philipp and Stefan Eberharter and gained a little insight into a region where time sometimes seems to stand still.
