The inaugural edition of the Sanremo Women race starts from Genoa, passing over the Porto Antico via the elevated highway before reaching Sestri Ponente and joining the Aurelia State Road. A few kilometers later, the race merges with the men’s course in Voltri, and from there, it continues along the historic route that has connected Milan to Sanremo for over 110 years.
The race then heads west along the coast, following the Aurelia through Varazze, Savona, Albenga, and finally Imperia. In San Lorenzo al Mare, after tackling the classic sequence of Capi (Mele, Cervo, and Berta), the riders will face two key climbs that have been added in recent decades: Cipressa (introduced in 1982) and the Poggio di Sanremo (introduced in 1961). The Cipressa extends 5.6 km at an average gradient of 4.1%, leading into a highly technical descent that returns to SS1 Aurelia.
Final Km
With 9 km to go, the riders begin the ascent of the Poggio di Sanremo, which stretches 3.7 km at an average gradient of just under 4%, and steep sections reaching 8% just before the summit. The climb features a narrow roadway and four hairpin turns within the first two kilometers.
The descent is extremely demanding, on narrow asphalt roads, and features a series of switchbacks, curves, and counter-curves, leading back onto the Aurelia State Road. The final section of the descent runs through Sanremo’s urban area, with the last 2 km unfolding along broad, straight city streets.
At 850 meters from the finish, there is a left-hand turn around a roundabout, followed by the final turn at 750 meters, which leads onto Via Roma, where the race will conclude on a straight, asphalt-paved finishing stretch.

Genova
Overview
Genova (Genoa), the regional capital of Liguria, is a charming city between the hills and the sea, with a rich history. Its historical centre is among the largest ones in Europe. Reflecting centuries of history, culture and traditions, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The heart of the city is full of architectural gems. The Ducal Palace, the former symbol of power, now a venue for cultural events, is one of the most notable landmarks. San Lorenzo cathedral, with its black and white marble façade, is one of the finest examples of Romanesque-Gothic style. The Strade Nuove and the Palazzi dei Rolli, a testimony to the status of the Republic of Genoa in the Renaissance, are also a must-see.
Local cuisine offers a wealth of fresh and tasty dishes. Pesto alla Genovese, made with basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese and olive oil, and often served with ‘trofie’ or ‘trenette’ pasta, is the hallmark of the culinary tradition of the city. Local specialties also include focaccia, which can be enjoyed plain or with a variety of toppings, and fresh fish dishes, such as cappon magro, a traditional holiday recipe.
Genova is home to many famous attractions, such as the Aquarium, one of Europe’s largest. Walking along the Porto Antico (old port) and enjoying the views from the Lanterna—the iconic lighthouse of the city—are unforgettable experiences.
The city has held several stages of the Giro d’Italia—one of the major cycling events. This year, it will host the start of the Milano-Sanremo classic, in its new women’s edition. The city has seen riders tackle challenging routes that run from the hills to the sea, bringing entertainment and thrill to fans and enthusiasts from all over the world.
Sanremo
Overview
Lying along the sun-drenched Riviera dei Fiori, Sanremo has a mild and pleasant micro‑climate, as compared to other cities of the region, which makes it the perfect tourist destination.
It is renowned for flower farming (hence its nickname, ‘the city of flowers’) and for a traditional parade of flower-covered floats held every year in the spring, called ‘Sanremo in fiore’. Other famous events taking place in Sanremo every year include the Italian Song Festival, aired by the national broadcaster Rai, and the Rassegna della canzone d’autore, organised by the Club Tenco.
The old town centre (nicknamed La Pigna, ‘the pine cone’, after the shape of its ancient defensive walls) reflects the glorious past of the city. Main sights include the Basilica Collegiata Cattedrale di San Siro, the sanctuary of Madonna della Costa, the hermitage of San Michele, and the Church of Cristo Salvatore, built in the late 19th century by the Russian nobility, nowadays one of the symbols of the town, together with the Casino, nearby, one of the three remaining in Italy.
Notable sights also include many private mansions built along the promenade: Palazzo Bellevue (which has been a luxury hotel for many years, and became the city hall in 1963); Palazzo Borea d’Olmo (one of the major Baroque buildings of western Liguria, a few metres away from Teatro Ariston); Villa Ormond (renowned for its park, with many exotic plants); Villa Nobel (built in Moorish style, the last place where Alfred Nobel lived, currently a museum and a venue for cultural meetings), Villa King, nearby (Art Deco), and Castello Devachan (the venue of the meeting of the victorious Allies after the end of World War I in 1920).
Speaking of sports, the city is renowned as finish location of Milano-Sanremo (one of the major springtime classics on the international cycling calendar), and it has been the venue of an iconic automobile rally since 1928.
