Here's an exciting, informed, and Komoot-friendly review of Andora's famous "Salto nel Blu": --- 🌊✨ The "Salto nel Blu" is pure adrenaline with a sea view! 🪂🌅 A natural springboard projecting toward infinity, with the blue of the Ligurian Sea opening up like a curtain. Located along the Antenne trail, it has become an iconic spot for the most daring riders 🚵♂️💨 The jump is challenging and reserved for those with great technical mastery, but there's also an alternative "chicken line" for everyone, allowing you to still enjoy the breathtaking view safely 🏞️👍 Recommended at sunset, when the light and sea create an almost mystical experience 🌇🌊 A perfect mix of extreme MTB and postcard-perfect scenery. Unforgettable.

From this path between the Castellareto hill and the Cervo hill, between San Bartolomeo al Mare and Andora, splendid views open up over the Gulf of Genoa.

First a nice little tour up this hill with a great view of the sea and the coast, then into the nice old town center of Cervo. We had a really nice late afternoon and evening.
