Here's an exciting, informed, and Komoot-friendly review of Andora's famous "Salto nel Blu": --- 🌊✨ The "Salto nel Blu" is pure adrenaline with a sea view! 🪂🌅 A natural springboard projecting toward infinity, with the blue of the Ligurian Sea opening up like a curtain. Located along the Antenne trail, it has become an iconic spot for the most daring riders 🚵♂️💨 The jump is challenging and reserved for those with great technical mastery, but there's also an alternative "chicken line" for everyone, allowing you to still enjoy the breathtaking view safely 🏞️👍 Recommended at sunset, when the light and sea create an almost mystical experience 🌇🌊 A perfect mix of extreme MTB and postcard-perfect scenery. Unforgettable.

Definitely not for all fitness levels. At times, we practically had to carry our bikes! It's a hiking trail littered with large rocks, the kind you'd find in the Dolomites just before a via ferrata. The navigation is completely off! Terrible!

A surprising panoramic point, where the branches of the pine trees create a perfect natural frame to admire the entire Gulf of Diano: with the bay that extends towards Capo Berta, and the boats like dots on the blue. The view is wide but intimate, filtered by the trees, as if nature wanted to reveal the landscape to you little by little.

Bring a water bottle with you and take a short break right here: sitting among the pine trees with your gaze towards the horizon is an experience that regenerates legs and thoughts. At dawn, the light transforms the sea into a golden mirror: if you can, come back to this spot early in the morning 🌅
