Program description

  • On your arrival at Nice Airport, you will find us waiting for you right outside the terminal with our van ready to take you to Molini during an hour's drive from the French Riviera until the Inland of the Valle Argentina, in Molini di Triora.

  • Depending on the arrival time you will: drop the bikes in our safe bike deposit, assemble bikes, and ride or check-in in at the hotel.

  • Your stay will be at the famous Albergo Ristorante Santo Spirito, family owned and run for 120 years with the same dedication and local Italian spin. Awarded with several prizes for the quality of hospitality, coziness, and food: it will not disappoint you. From 2022 there is a new chef, revisited menu. Fresh, homemade, seasonal food produced with locally grown organic vegetables, cheese, meat, and wine from the farm of Meregone. In case you want to be more independent we provide accommodation in independent flats and villas.

  • Riding time is from 9 AM until 5.30 PM. Trails are chosen on the spot according to the group's desire: long short, party lap, techy, adventure. The time on the van is on average 20 minutes for in some cases, 1 h riding. Some trails start at the top of the maritime alps at 2000+ meters altitude and this is why we take the van as close as we can to the trail entrance. During backcountry days we ride the longest trails that take up to half a day and always end up with loads of food and fresh drinks (the Alps to the Sea ). Despite being Molini centered we can differentiate the package and ride in other locations - Sanremo, Val Prino, and Diano Marina. Riding styles and skill levels for everyone! On average, on a week-long trip you will be able to descend almost 15.000 to 20.000 meters on over 200 km trails.

Our Mountain Bike Trails

 
  • From single-tracks to alpine rocky ridges, Molini’s mountain bike trail network is incredibly varied. With an elevation progression from 460 to more than 2000 mts, you can be sure that you will find what you are looking for, and more. The more you climb the more you can see changes in the mountain ranges: different altitudes offer distinct kinds of forest, dirt, and landscape. From hard-packed and well-trodden fast and flowy trails, to big mountain paths that cross millenary loamy forests. Technical trails, switchbacks, traverses, natural drops, ancient medieval bridges … you name it!!!

  • A distinctive trait of the trails in Valle Argentina is that, the higher the trails ascend towards the peak of the mountain, the longer they tend to become. From short single-tracks, to longer trails that cross entire valleys and take you to different towns, you will be able to create the perfect riding combination. Most of the time, the tracks are either close to the road, cross the roads, or have multiple variants which increase trail accessibility and trail combinations.

  • The majority of the trails we ride are part of a secular trail-network that was used by our ancestors to move from their villages to the fields. Today we are still discovering ancient medieval brides, age standing walls, and shepherds barracks. The Maritime Alps are filled with small, old villages perched on top of hills and mountains. They are connected by trails, which have now been repurposed as mountain biking routes. Each village has its own traditions and history, and every view is memorable and pristine. Get ready to cross woods filled with centuries-old chestnut trees, traverse rivers and bridges, and ride through old towns like Triora, Realdo , Andagna and more!
