Rollercoaster Uphill-Runde
Description
On the Finale Ligure beach promenade, take the SP490 via Finalborgo and continue through Gorra past the chapel. At a crossroads, a path turns off to the right. Now climb steeply up this cart track until you reach the road to the Madonna della Guardia chapel. Follow this road for a while, then soon turn left and ride further up. Parallel to the rollercoaster trail, the route continues uphill until you reach the top of the ridge and can continue left to Melogno for a cappuccino at the Osteria del Din (as in the GPX track). Or you can turn right onto the feeder road to the Rollercoaster Trail. After the refreshment stop, return to the cart path and climb the short, steep ascent of the rollercoaster feeder road.
The rollercoaster trail soon begins on a gentle slope. It is not very difficult, with a few steep steps and jumps. Until you come to a crossroads. The Kill Bill, Caccaiatore and Madonna del Guardia trails are on the left (for those who want something more technical and steeper) and the New Rollcoaster continues on the right. This part really feels like riding a rollercoaster, with sweeping ups and downs, alternating between natural berms and jumps. You reach the forest road again briefly and can take a deep breath before turning left onto the next steeper part of the trail. Now it gets a little rockier and the steep steps a little higher, but everything is easy to ride. The difficulty increases with the speed. The descent ends at the chapel and you roll back to Finale Ligure on the SP490.

The brains behind Ride MTB

I wanted to use the uphill section for a different ride today. At the turnoff from the road, there’s a “No Bikes” sign, and the trail disappears into the woods after about 300 meters. You can only guess that there must have once been a trail here. I decided to call it quits and rode up the road instead.
