For UCI Enduro World Cup season openers, it’s hard to beat Italy’s Finale Outdoor Region for location, trails, community, and history. The area is woven into the fabric of Enduro thanks to its role as a regular curtain closer during the format’s Enduro World Series (EWS) years. 

Last year, Finale Ligure hosted the curtain opener of the UCI Enduro World Cup and the Finale Outdoor Region retains this position in the 2025 UCI Enduro World Cup calendar, albeit basing itself in nearby Pietra Ligure when it hosts the format’s first round on May 9-11.

Where is it? 

The Finale Outdoor Region is located 80km west of Genoa (Italy) and 125km east of Nice (France) in the heart of the Italian Riviera. To its south lies the Mediterranean coast, but it's the hills to the region’s north where the adrenaline-fuelled action takes place. It’s in these high grounds above the municipalities of Pietra Ligure and Finale Ligure where a sprawling network of trails has been lovingly constructed over three decades by a dedicated community of mountain bikers. Full of raw, technical, natural lines, the area is a true test worthy of its season-starting status. 

In addition to the elite competition, the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series in Pietra Ligure, Finale Outdoor Region, will also offer amateurs the chance to go between the race tape in Enduro Open races.
