Magnificent view, very quiet all in the midst of woods and olive trees.

Partially shady road, H2O refuelling and excellent break in Casanova Lerrone, Testico, lunch in Testico at 'Lisa's' if desired

Constant ascent starting at the golf course in Garlenda. The road passes a few villages and then plunges into nature. Very little traffic, sometimes very narrow road, be careful. The last 10 km are in nature. The most difficult point? The last 2/3 km!

Interesting, because it ascends a valley practically unknown to most people. From the typical landscape of the Ligurian Riviera, it gradually ascends to a mixed forest at mid-altitude. The final part is quite demanding.
