The Barolo Sanremo Bike: The Journey You Don’t Expect!

The Barolo Sanremo is not just an itinerary—it’s a true cycling journey! Carefully designed, it alternates between gravel roads and paved paths, always away from traffic. Over the course of 270 km, it will slowly guide you to discover the true essence of this surprising territory, which brings together the Langhe, the Alps, and the Sea in a stunning mix of diverse, little-known, and breathtaking landscapes. Divided into four stages, it connects the Langhe to the western Ligurian Riviera, revealing alpine views and wild corners at the perfect pace—the philosophy of gravel riding, bikepacking, and cycling. Starting from Barolo, the journey leads to Sanremo with an assistance vehicle following along. Each evening, riders will stop at carefully selected accommodations offering half-board service, alternating cycling moments with visits to key historical, artistic, and cultural landmarks: the medieval Chapel of San Fiorenzo in Bastia, the Sanctuary of Vicoforte, the Castle of Casotto, and the renowned Beppino Occelli cheese aging facility. Upon arrival in Sanremo, a shuttle will take participants back to Barolo, marking the conclusion of this incredible adventure. A true journey of discovery!
