Nature often does things very well. If any were needed, here's yet another fine example: this rocky promontory that opens the doors to the sea. A breathtaking view!

This magnificent trail is very pleasant to ride. It offers a little respite from the many highly technical singletracks in the surrounding area. Enjoy the view; it's absolutely incredible! The sea stretches as far as the eye can see.

This short single track is very technical but also very open, with magnificent views of the Costa Verde forests and the open sea. Your biggest challenge will be keeping an eye on the ground and the many traps that litter the trail.

Superb downhill mountain bike trail (DH) amidst ferns and dense vegetation. The route is playful with beautiful curves and a surface that invites skidding. Fun guaranteed!

This superb climb takes you on a series of switchbacks offering alternating views of the sea and shaded sections under the cover of vegetation. You're in for a treat! The surface is also perfect.

The church was begun at the beginning of the seventeenth century and completed in 1717. In 1740, embellishment works were carried out. The wall paintings were painted by Luigi Pollero in 1810. The main façade consists of two levels delimited by cornices and surmounted by a triangular pediment with three acroteria. On the first level, on either side of the portal, there are two niches that house the statues of Saint Nicholas and Saint Peter. The church ends in a semicircular apse. The bell tower rises at the junction of the apse and the right side façade. It has five floors that end in a dome surmounted by a cross. The interior consists of a nave and five richly decorated side chapels. On either side of the altar there are caryatid angels. Building dating from the first quarter of the 17th century (?), mentioned in the report of the pastoral visit of Msgr. Marliani, Bishop of Mariana and Accia, in 1646. It was restored in 1686 with the collaboration of master masons Lorenzo Chiglione and Giovanni Filippi. Rebuilt in 1717 and 1740. Main door dating from 1766. Painted decoration (investigated in the Palissy database) carried out by the painter Luigi Polleri in 1810, as shown by the date on the inside of the building. Restored in 1896.
