Embark on a difficult road cycling ring tour from Lavagna to Passo della Crocetta and back from Leivi, covering 30.9 miles (49.7 km) with a significant 4168 feet (1270 metres) of elevation gain. This challenging ride typically takes around 3 hours and 5 minutes to complete. As you cycle, you will pass through dense woods, sprawling olive and chestnut groves, and enjoy open vistas offering splendid views over the Gulf of Tigullio and glimpses of the Portofino promontory.
This route is classified as a hard road ride, demanding very good fitness due to its substantial climbs. While most surfaces are paved and generally easy to ride, be prepared for some unpaved and challenging segments where you might need to push your bike. The ascent to Passo della Crocetta features climbs like the 11.9-kilometer stretch from Antea with an average 6% gradient, reaching 1071 meters. Be aware that the descent towards Coreglia Ligure is very steep and quite technical.
Considered one of the Top 10 Most Beautiful Road Biking Routes around Lavagna, this tour offers a rewarding Ligurian adventure for experienced road cyclists. Passo della Crocetta itself is a recognized and important cycling destination within the Liguria region. Its challenging nature combined with panoramic views makes it a significant route for those seeking a memorable ride.
