Cinque Terre: Portofino E-Bike Private Experience

This private e-bike tour from Portofino offers a fresh and immersive way to explore the Ligurian Riviera, combining easy coastal stretches, scenic uphill sections, and genuine local landscapes. Starting directly in Portofino, you ride along the waterfront, letting the rhythm of the sea guide you as you follow the coast toward Santa Margherita Ligure. The opening kilometers are smooth and enjoyable, with elegant villas, palm-lined promenades, and the salty breeze of the bay setting the tone for the day.

Leaving the shoreline behind, the route begins a gradual ascent along a peaceful road framed by Mediterranean scrub and terraces. As you climb, wide views open over the Gulf of Tigullio, revealing olive groves, stone walls, and the deep blue sea stretching below. The ride toward San Lorenzo della Costa highlights the quieter, more rural side of the promontory, where nature and traditional landscapes dominate the scene.

From here, the journey continues to San Rocco di Camogli, a renowned panoramic terrace overlooking the Gulf of Paradise. This elevated viewpoint delivers one of the most memorable vistas of the entire experience, with the coastline unfolding in layers and the western Riviera visible on clear days. It is an ideal setting for a relaxed pause, enjoying local focaccia, sea views, and, if desired, a glass of Ligurian white wine inspired by the classic “second Genovese breakfast.”

After the break, the tour flows downhill toward Recco and then on to Camogli, one of Liguria’s most characteristic seaside villages. Known for its tall, colorful buildings and strong maritime identity, Camogli welcomes you with its lively harbor, waterfront promenade, and historic center. An accompanied walk through the village allows you to appreciate its atmosphere, with free time available depending on the day’s rhythm.

The experience concludes by returning to the starting point, creating a well-rounded itinerary that blends coastal cycling, hilltop viewpoints, and authentic village life. Thanks to the electric assistance, distances and difficulty can be adapted, making the ride enjoyable for both first-time cyclists and more experienced riders. A minimum height of 1.45 meters is required to ensure comfort and safety on the e-MTB.

This private Portofino e-bike experience captures the true character of the promontory: dramatic panoramas, timeless villages, and a constant connection to the sea, experienced at a relaxed pace from one unforgettable viewpoint to the next.
