“Excellent place to start your epic Alta Via del Sale MTB trip”
I stayed here just before heading out on the Alta Via del Sale mountain bike trail, and the location was spot on. I rode the 7 km stretch from Limone station to Riserva Bianca at Panice Soprana to save time. The buffet dinner had everything I needed to prep for the 110 km rocky ride to the coast the next day. Breakfast began at 7 am, letting me hit the multi‑hairpin climbs to Chalet Le Marmotte at 1900 m by 7:45, grab cappuccino and cake, then be the first biker on the off‑road track at 9 am. The clouds still clung to the mountains that morning, creating a spectacular ride. The climbs were occasionally tough but manageable; the descent was slower than 20 km/h because of the rocky surface, especially near Tanarello pass. Starting early at Riserva Bianca let me finish the trip before sunset in late summer.
