Bike School

Imagine a school without desks, without blackboards, without grades, but only small mountain bikes… where children between the ages of 7 and 11 can learn how to ride a bike, but also take a journey through nature and history. It’s happening in Finale Ligure, on the Altopiano delle Manie, where Louise Paulin, Swedish multiple world MTB champion, and Riccardo Negro, one of the organizers of the 24H di Finale and Finalenduro (the final stage of the World Championships), have set up a real MTB school for young people.


A school where you learn by playing, without competition, introducing children to off-road techniques along the trails of the Altopiano delle Manie, among Mediterranean scrub, mastic trees, myrtle, broom, but also the Arma delle Manie, where prehistoric man sought shelter and refuge, or along the path of Roman bridges that descends from the plateau to Calvisio.

Simple, safe trails where young children learn balance, but also about plants and history, in a breathtaking experience that can only be enjoyed in Finale Ligure, on the plateau overlooking the sea.

An experience that will make them fall in love with two wheels and nature.
