Circuito Kart Carasco

On the Riviera di Levante, in Carasco in the province of Genoa in Liguria, the Circuito Kart Carasco runs a 550-metre outdoor track in the Sturla Valley, a short drive from the Cinque Terre. The site sits in a picturesque setting typical of the Ligurian inland: wooded hills, olive groves, steep valleys and views over the Tigullio Gulf. It is used by Genoa locals for outings with friends and by Riviera di Levante holiday-makers looking for a motorsport activity beside the sea and the UNESCO villages.

The outdoor track stretches over 550 metres, a rhythmic layout suited to a range of skill levels, in the picturesque setting of the Ligurian inland. Several engine sizes are available, from beginner karts for kids to punchier versions for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Ligurian Mediterranean climate: drier and faster in summer, more demanding on rainy days. The site welcomes family taster sessions, kids' birthday parties, stag and hen groups and corporate events from the Genoa and Tigullio areas.

Carasco is thirty minutes from Genoa, fifteen minutes from Chiavari and forty-five minutes from the Cinque Terre. The region offers plenty more to see: the Cinque Terre UNESCO (Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso al Mare), Portofino and its Riviera, Genoa UNESCO (Strada Nuova and the Palazzi dei Rolli, the medieval historic centre, the Aquarium), Camogli and San Fruttuoso, Sestri Levante and the Bay of Silence, Chiavari and Lavagna, or a side trip to the Cinque Terre National Park or Portovenere. Karting in Carasco is a coherent option for Riviera di Levante travellers.
