-
What if I'm a solo traveler that would like a roommate but none are available?
If you are a solo traveler that would like a roommate, we do our best to pair you with another solo traveler of the same gender. However, if no roommate option is available and you must be assigned your own room, you will be asked to pay 50% of the single supplement to cover the cost of your room. In this case, as the single supplement is $800, you would be liable for $400 extra. Please note roommates are paired on a first come, first served basis, so the earlier you book the less likely you will be "forced" into a single room! -

To reach the trails, you'll be transported in a 4x4 shuttle vehicle. Drive times typically range from 10 to 40 minutes, depending on the day’s riding zone—though the first shuttle is often a bit longer to access the main trail network. Our expert guides will select routes that best match the group’s ability and preferences, ensuring you experience the very best of what Finale Ligure has to offer. -
