This moderate road cycling route, the Stella San Giovanni and Alpicella ring tour, takes you through the diverse landscapes of the Beigua Natural Regional Park. You will cover 35.5 miles (57.2 km) with a significant elevation gain of 2826 feet (861 metres), which you can complete in about 2 hours and 49 minutes. Expect mostly well-paved surfaces, but be ready for some climbs as you navigate the park's mountain ridges. From Monte Beigua Summit, you can enjoy panoramic views over Varazze and the sparkling sea. The route offers striking scenery with dense forests and unique geological features.
While the route is generally easy to ride for road cyclists, a good level of fitness is required to tackle the elevation changes. Be aware that some roads within the Beigua Park, particularly around the Monte Beigua Summit area, have been noted to be in poor condition. Always check local conditions before you head out, especially after bad weather, to ensure a smooth ride. This ring tour starts and ends in Varazze, making it convenient for planning your day.
This route is considered one of the best road cycling options around Varazze, offering more than just a ride. You will pass through Stella San Giovanni, the birthplace of Italy's seventh President, Sandro Pertini, where a museum is dedicated to him. Alpicella also boasts ancient origins, with evidence of Neolithic settlements and a rich history rooted in pastoralism. The Beigua Natural Regional Park itself is a UNESCO Global Geopark, recognized for its unique geological heritage and unspoiled environment.
