High-quality men's touring bike with classic diamond frame
Body size approx. 165 cm - 205 cm
Much like the revered Milan to Sanremo classic cycling route, your journey follows a path from the majestic Alps to the inviting embrace of the sea. However, while the parallel exists, a distinction emerges: your adventure commences in the regal city of Turin, but unlike the swift professionals of the "Classicissima," your exploration isn't confined to a single day's ride.
Believe us, amidst the splendour of this captivating route, the culturally rich and charming locales where you rest, the breathtaking vistas that unfold, and the alluring aromas that envelop you, even the most seasoned cyclists might opt to meander through the landscape, savouring the indulgences strewn along the way. The interweaving of culture, scenery, and cuisine on this journey is genuinely exceptional, delivering daily doses of delight and excitement.
One certainty prevails: You don't need to be a professional cyclist to undertake this expedition to Sanremo. Even cycling legends like Fausto Coppi, Eddy Merckx, Erik Zabel, or Mark Cavendish would likely opt for this enjoyable route albeit at a much slower pace!
In Turin, you start the 50-kilometre stage along the Po. You pass the impressive Stupinigi Palace and reach the medieval town of Saluzzo. In the bar of the former Cistercian abbey, you must taste the excellent ice cream! Continue south to Mondovi, Millesimo and Albenga. On day seven, you arrive at the Riviera of Flowers, San Remo. Now you have time to enjoy the turquoise sea and the pleasant temperatures and the glamorous surroundings.
Passing orchards and vineyards: As you cycle to Cavour, the mountain ‘Mon Viso’ is always in view. And surrounded by orchards and vineyards is the curious castle ‘Rocca’.
Crossing the Alps: On day six you will reach the sea via the Bormida Valley to the Riviera of Flowers, Sanremo. The summit of the Colle Scravaion offers a spectacular view of the Ligurian Sea.
You predominantly cycle along quiet side roads. All in all a very easy route. On the fourth day there are 3 ascents with lengths between 1.5 and 3km each. On the 5th day you have to climb a total of 400m over a total of 30km. Most of the route is on tarmac. Only short sections are on gravel paths. When arriving and leaving the towns there are short connecting sections where you should be expecting more traffic.
