Eastern Liguria, the Beigua area and the western coast offer different options: this selection includes mountain bike outings, all-mountain rides and enduro tracks. Some accounts describe steep sections or bike carrying. “Best” is an editorial selection across areas and ride characteristics, not a difficulty ranking or a recent field inspection. Check the map and local conditions before setting off.

Map and GPX in ItalianBefore choosing your ride
Where can I find the maps and GPX tracks?
Open “Map and GPX” on a card to view the route entry, map and download button (“Scarica GPX” on Italian pages). Distances are estimates calculated from the available files; separate segments are not joined in the calculation.
Is a shorter route also easier?
Distance alone does not indicate difficulty. Read the account to assess climbs, terrain, technical sections, bike pushing or carrying and any lifts. For files containing multiple tracks, the displayed length is their combined distance.
Can I ride these routes on an e-MTB?
A GPX track does not establish e-MTB suitability. Consider climbing, battery range, unrideable sections and local rules; where lifts are involved, also check bike-transport conditions.
Do the tracks reflect current conditions?
These are archive tracks from different dates. Before setting off, check access, restrictions, weather and trail conditions with local sources. GPX estimates are not a field verification.
