Ronco Kart Track

Set on the Ligurian Apennines, in Ronco Scrivia in the province of Genoa in Liguria, the Ronco Kart Track runs its karting layout on the historic Giovi Pass route between Liguria and Piedmont. The site sits in a mountain setting typical of the Ligurian Apennines: chestnut and beech forests, the first pre-Apennine heights, steep valleys and views over the Genoa area in the distance. It is used by Genoa locals for outings with friends and by adult drivers looking for a sport-focused setting in the Ligurian inland.

The outdoor track suits adult and experienced drivers, in the picturesque setting of the Ligurian Apennines. Several engine sizes are available, with higher-powered karts for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Apennine continental climate: drier and faster in summer, more demanding on rainy autumn days or in morning fog. The site hosts enthusiast sessions, motorsport-focused stag and hen groups, corporate events and club days from the Genoa and Alessandria areas.

Ronco Scrivia is thirty minutes from Genoa, thirty minutes from Alessandria and an hour and a quarter from Milan. The region offers plenty more to see: Genoa UNESCO (Strada Nuova and the Palazzi dei Rolli, the Aquarium among the largest in Europe, the medieval historic centre with the narrowest caruggi alleys in Italy, the Lanterna), the Castello della Pietra near Alessandria, Acqui Terme and its Roman thermal baths (la Bollente at 75°C), the Cinque Terre UNESCO (an hour and a half away), Portofino and the Riviera di Levante, or a side trip to Camogli and San Fruttuoso or the Cinque Terre. Karting at Ronco is an option for Genoa locals and Apennine adult drivers.
