Forte Richelieu (Genua)

Slightly above Genoa, the abandoned Forte Richelieu is enthroned and offers an interesting and varied route with fantastic panoramic views on the southern descent.

Description

The route starts a little north-east of Genoa, near the soccer stadium. From here, the trail first rides past the Forte di Santa Tecla and then, partly on gravel, in the direction of Forte Ratti. Then turn right and follow a moderately ascending path directly to Forte Richelieu.

The fortress is slightly elevated above Genoa and - despite its comparatively low altitude - offers impressive panoramic views over the city and coast. The descent then begins. Typical for the region: rough in places, then smooth to ride again, with some interesting key sections. Overall, the difficulty is in the S2 range. The descent follows a direttissima line downhill before riding a short stretch on asphalt back to the starting point.

All in all, a very interesting and compact tour - ideal as an extension to a longer ride or as a stand-alone half-day tour.
