Links: bike hire | prices

introduction

Where the rugged mountains of Liguria & Cinque Terre touch the sea awaits some of Europe’s most breathtaking cycling, great cuisine and the Italian people at their most hospitable.

highlights

New Limits bring clients to Liguria and Cinque Terre, on a regular basis, and have forged good relationships with local cyclists, hotels and restaurants, which means we can offer you the best packages.

Ride in the wake of the Giro d’ Italia and experience Italian life on the Riviera Levante, from the outskirts of Genova to La Spezia, including Portofino, Sestri Levante and the Cinque Terre region. Our routes take in both the coastal villages and the hilly interior of where steep gradients make for challenging rides with rewarding views.

profile

Pace and intensity are sociable, with café and lunch stops on route, and although there are opportunities for rest or easy days you will need to be relatively fit and fairly experienced to enjoy this guided holiday. The itinerary offers at least 2 riding groups every day. Expect a minimum of 85km per day and up to 120km, with longer rides and tough climbs on demand! You can also participiate in the Cinque Terre Gran Fondo or visit Liguria on an Epic Weekend package.

accommodation

For 2007 we are based in the traditional Riviera resort town of Rapallo, a stones throw away from the picture postcard resorts of Camogli & Portofino. Hotel is 3 star, sea front and breakfast is included.
