Finale’s territory continues to impress with brand new trails and a great offer for all sport enthusiasts and mountain-bike lovers.

For the fourth consecutive year Finale Ligure is about to host the Grand Final of the most international mountain-bike circuit out there, the Enduro World Series.

Bluegrass FinalEnduro powered by SRAM will take place over two days, on the 1st and 2nd October, along some of the most beautiful trails of Finale’s territory. Many of these trails are totally new and after the event they will be added to the ever-growing network of trails spread out over the area, which add up to over 400 km already!
For this great sport event, flagship of the FLOW Festival – Finale Ligure On Wheels –, which has been sold-out for months now, more than 500 racers are awaited, from 30 Countries around the World.

The first rumours about the race course – it will be officially announced on Monday, 26th September – have it that there will be three Special Stages on Saturday and four on Sunday, with a total of about 100 km of race tracks. Amongst them, a route that Finale Outdoor Resort’s local organizers have been hunting for ages on cadastral maps and that finally they have been able to put together, using a number of tracks and transfers at elevation, that will take the riders from the hinterland directly to the sea. Trails have been cleaned up and re-established and this will make it happen – at the race and following the event: a one-shot drop of more than 1000 meters, with no portage, from the Ligurian Alps to the sea. An incredibly appealing offer for bike enthusiasts, always looking for new emotions and as many hours in the saddle as possible throughout the day.
“Trail clearing allows us to recover and take care of a territory that would otherwise be abandoned ” Riccardo Negro, FOR’s vice-president, declares “during the works carried out for this EWS edition we have rediscovered an old Roman bridge, that was otherwise hidden and submerged by vegetation. We have cleaned up from plastic and other garbage a lot of other places as well. We will take racers and event journalists to experience first-hand the beauty of our territory, riding along rock faces perfect for climbing, streams and karst caves. It will be amazing”.

PFor the public and the many visitors, the festival will start the weekend before the mountain-bike event with the Seventh edition of Finale For Nepal that will take place at Finalborgo on the 24th and 25th September. The spotlights will then be turned on Vittorio Emanuele II square at Finalmarina, that will host the FLOW event, starting on Friday 30th September, where bike demos, guided tours, and a number of activities for the public of all ages will brighten up further the waterfront.
