Finale Ligure, Italy
Retreat
September 28th-October 4th, 2026
$3950 per person, shared occupancy
Join us in a world-renowned mountain bike destination.
Join us for an unforgettable week of mountain biking, sunshine, and sisterhood in the legendary trails of Finale Ligure, Italy. This adventure combines world-class riding with the relaxed, playful vibe of exploring a beautiful coastal town with new friends who share your passion for bikes and good times.
This retreat is designed for high intermediate to advanced riders. It’s a bonus if you have attended a Ladies AllRide camp or have had other professional mountain bike instruction. The Finale retreat will consist of mostly shuttled rides with a downhill focus - and a few pedals from town. Be ready to have some fun on some of the best trails Italy has to offer!
We will be staying in the town of Finale at the Hotel Medusa. Your room will be shared with one other rider and include twin beds. Expect a blend of adventure, community, yummy food, and plenty of smiles - because exploring Finale Ligure with an inspiring group of women is more than a trip… it’s a celebration of riding, connection, and pure joy on the trail. In ITALY!!
Hotel Medusa is located about 2 hours from the Nice International Airport.

A prearranged shuttle from Nice International Airport (NCE) to Hotel Medusa and the return shuttle to NCE are both included in your registration.
On arrival day, September 28, there will only be one shuttle time based on the most common flight arrival times. The exact time will be determined closer to the event. Our best guess right now is around 11am. If you arrive outside of the group shuttle departure time, you will be responsible for arranging a private shuttle or rental car at your own expense.
On departure day, October 4th, there will be one shuttle to NCE. The exact time will be determined closer to the event, and our best estimate currently is arrival at NCE at 9am.
