Finale Ligure - Exclusive MTB Tour

What is the trip in a nutshell?

Based on 7 nights arriving Sunday and departing the following Sunday in an apartment in central Finale Ligure. You are provided with a host who will make you breakfast each morning and pack the apartment up when you have gone riding. In the evenings the apartment is self catered. You will have 5 days of uplifts with a 4x4 and guide, enabling you to ride where you wish in Finale Ligure's trail network, aswell as riding other locations in Liguria such as Pietra Ligure, Mallare, Bardinetto and more...

How the riding works

You will have your own uplift vehicle, a driver and guide dedicated to your group for 5 days. Upon booking you'll speak to our team to discuss what you'd like to ride for the week. If you've never been before and want to see all that classic Finale Ligure has to offer, then we can plan a tour of the trails that best suits your group's ability.

If you have been before we can look at the vast array of options Liguria has to offer and make the arrangements to show you the areas you've never heard of or those you've always wanted visit. Our years on the ground in Finale Ligure have nurtured relationships that open up an array of possibilities. Sharing these zones with you and building a custom tuned week is what this trip is all about.

We feel is it absolutely necessary and you are required to have a valid insurance policy in pace in agreement with our booking Terms and Conditions. 

With the UK's departure from the EU your EH111 card no longer covers medical care. You'll also want insurance against other circumstances such as bike theft, damage or cancellation for personal reasons. We recommend Yellow Jersey. When booking with MTB Beds you will receive a discount code for a 10% off in your MyBooking area info.

In light in the Coronavirus outbreak we also strongly recommend insurance once again so there are several avenues to pursue if a claim is necessary for any reason due to disaster, disease etc. Some policies doe not cover for this but we believe this will change in the future so always ask the question. 

Apartment Al Tre Palmo is accessed by a small flight of stairs and is made up of two properties on the same level. They are adjoined at the top of the stairs with their own private entrances. The accommodation has 4 generous bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 kitchens and 3 living rooms. The front apartments living room has window views directly onto the beautiful beach and the palm trees that give the property it's name.Check in is from 15h.

The second apartment is able to be closed off from the first as it has it's own entrance 2 metres across the stairwell. This stairwell services only these apartments and is not shared. The second apartment has a large kitchen-diner and living room at the entrance followed by two large bedrooms, a twin and a double. A separate large shower and mezzanine style bathroom are at the end of the property. This section of Al Tre Palmo does not have sea views.

Apartment Al Tre Palmo is complete with ultra-secure bike storage within the property itself, accessed by a private entrance and complete with a bike stand, pump, tool kit and work table. You will have access to washing facilities and our mechanic in our flagship Finale Ligure Villa which is a one minute ride from the apartment.

With Finale Ligure town centre literally at your front door, you will find it is easy to access the shopping, amazing local restaurant and bar scene, wether it is apertivo in the square, a beer after riding in Oddone Bici or sipping an Aperol spritz on the beach, you won't have to look far at all to make the most of your time here. That's before you've been out on the bike!

Check out is at 10h.

If you arrive earlier than 15h, we'll be there ready to welcome you in with a beer and show you about. You can get your bikes built up, go for a ride or explore the town. However facilities such as your room and showers may not be ready until 15h. We only ask you bear with staff and the cleaning team while they get the place tip top as guests are departing.

If you are leaving resort later than 10h, you are welcome to use the villa for storing your bags while you explore the town. We only ask that you understand the team will be trying to get the property ship shape for incoming clients, so please try and keep mess to a minimum and belongings tidy.

Please check your flight times with us before you book them to avoid long wait times at the airport, sometimes this is inevitable but we try to minimise it as much as possible with prior information from you. Some flights from Ireland and Scotland have late arrival times so please do check before booking them. 

From experience of late arrival times in resort, after 22h, we strongly advise looking into flights that arrive the day before the Riders Week package starts (Arrive Saturday and check in to the villa on the Sunday) and either transferring to a hotel in Finale Ligure on the Saturday, or using an airport hotel in Nice. Something many clients have done and found it greatly reduced fatigue and stress of getting yourself together for 9h uplifts on the Monday morning after a late arrival.

Surcharges

Transfers are included to or from Nice or Genoa airport, on Sundays only. For any other day please enquire for a price.

Nice & Genoa are included at no extra cost, except for scheduled departures before 10h and for arrivals after 20h. Flights booked to depart or arrive after these times will incur a surcharge of €100 per van. Delayed flights arriving after 20h will not incur a surcharge

Wait times may occur and cannot be foreseen until all bookings are in our system, we will try and keep these to less than 1 hour but it maybe more, possibly up to 4 hours, though this is unlikely and has never occured before. Wait times may apply to arrivals and departures. IE We may drop clients at the airport 4 hours before they are required to be there for check in.

If you do not want to wait a private transfer or the train is an option for them. Fees are dependent on dates and availability.

Transfers to or from Milan Airports may incur a surcharge of between €350 & €500 per van, each way if this is not our primary pick up destination. IE If we have not changed the preferred airport in the booking process.

There is a €5 per person per week Tourist tax which has been introduced from 2019, this will be collected at the end of your stay in cash and is paid directly to the local council town hall.
