ITALIAN RIVIERA AND MILANO-SANREMO: LA CLASSICISSIMA

ITALIAN RIVIERA AND MILANO-SANREMO: LA CLASSICISSIMA

In our experience, we think you will enjoy this specific tour if you are a cyclist with good bike handling skills, ability to accomplish multiple climbs of moderate grade (6-7%), the fitness to be on the bicycle for 4-5 hours a day, and the ability to ride safely with other cyclists in a line.

Three hundred days of sun and balmy temperatures draw royalty, movie stars, artists and cyclists to the Ligurian Riviera each year. Colorful towns on the bright blue sea have hosted spring training teams for more than a century. During this four-day trip, you’ll cycle pro routes through colorful villages and over iconic climbs. After Saturday’s ride, you’ll be a VIP at the finish line party of the legendary Milano-Sanremo, the first of the pro season’s epic Monument races. Inspired, you’ll make your own history in the 100 km amateur Sanremo-Sanremo. E-bikes welcome. There is much to enjoy on the Ligurian Riviera from Sanremo in the west to La Spezia in the east, so this package can be extended by adding a transfer and two extra days in the La Spezia area. 

EXPERIENCE THE
LIGURIAN REGION

CYCLE THE RIVIERA SPRING

Andiamo’s professional guides will lead you on routes that celebrate sea and scenery. Enjoy Mediterranean villages and hilltop panoramas on routes Pogecar and Piddock pedalled just days before.

EPIC DUELS, BUNCH SPRINTS AND PHOTOFINISHES

Since 1907, at 296 km, Milano-Sanremo is pro cycling’s oldest and longest one day race, with the winner often decided by centimeters. From your finish line post at the VIP party, you’ll be just meters away from the final victory.

MAKE HISTORY

Fueled with inspiration from the pro men and women, earn your own palmarès in the amateur version, the 100km Sanremo-Sanremo.  Ebikes welcome!

SAVOR SANREMO

Lively Sanremo is La Città di Fiori, the City of Flowers, and you’ll learn why as you wander narrow medieval streets up to beautiful views, delighting in Ligurian delicacies like Sardenaria as you go.
