EADV Adventure Festival

An adventure gathering in the heart of the Maritime Alps

The EADV Adventure Festival is one of Italy's premier events for enthusiasts of adventure motorcycles and dual-sport enduro. The event takes place in Limone Piemonte, in the Province of Cuneo (Piedmont), with its high-altitude headquarters at approximately 1,900 meters above sea level, nestled among the striking peaks of the Maritime Alps. Organized by the A.S.D. SpiritzRides association, the festival offers a non-competitive format designed for experiencing the mountains on two wheels, far from the pressures of racing and focused on the group spirit that defines the adventure world.

Three days of dirt tracks, mule paths, and vistas

The festival is a full-immersion experience in off-road riding: gravel roads, scenic asphalt stretches, challenging dirt tracks, and breathtaking passages at 2,000 meters in the Maritime Alps. The classic route includes the famous Via del Sale, one of the most iconic military roads in the western Alps, and features crossings into French territory with transit through the spectacular Vallée des Merveilles. GPX tracks are provided to participants in the days leading up to the event, allowing everyone to navigate their own path independently while still having the support of the organization.

The categories: Landscape, Rally, and Legend

The EADV Adventure Festival is divided into several difficulty levels to accommodate both those seeking a scenic, accessible experience and more experienced riders:

• Landscape: the gentler option, dedicated to scenic routes between asphalt and light dirt tracks, ideal for those traveling in pairs or new to the adventure world.
• Rally: the festival's classic route, between 150 and 200 km, covering the Via del Sale and the most iconic trails of the Maritime Alps. Requires a medium-to-high level of riding skill.
• Legend: the most demanding challenge, between 230 and 300 km, featuring technical variations on downhill mule paths toward the sea and selective climbs, reserved for riders with consolidated experience and good physical preparation.

Sport, nature, and camaraderie

Beyond the riding, the EADV Adventure Festival is above all a moment for gathering: aperitifs, group briefings, a suggestive night start, music, and a dinner in a high-altitude mountain hut to close the main day. The organization provides technical assistance and support vehicles along the routes, an equipped camping area, and a personalized welcome kit. Special attention is paid to respecting the alpine environment and coexisting with other mountain users, including hikers and cyclists, with precise waste management rules. For Limone Piemonte and the entire Granda area, the festival represents a significant opportunity for tourism and sports promotion during the summer season.
