The coast is beautiful, but traffic decides

The motorway around Genoa and the Italian Riviera can take longer than the distance suggests. Breaks and charging need generous margins.

  1. 01

    Leave early and place the charging stop before the Genoa corridor becomes busy.

  2. 02

    Keep Sanremo as a possible late break, not a committed city visit.

  3. 03

    Reach Hôtel Le Collier, check into the Triple Room – City Side and leave the car in the closed garage for three nights.

  4. 04

    Use the first evening for an easy walk around Port Vauban or dinner in Antibes Old Town.

A Better RouteplannerCharging plan for the Audi S6 e-tron Avant

ABRP recalculates the route and charging stops. Weather, speed, temperature and actual battery level can change the result.

Stops and experiences along the way

These are candidates, not a checklist. Energy, weather and traffic decide what actually fits the day.

01
Liguria

Genoa corridor

Bridges, tunnels and flashes of the Mediterranean make the road distinctive, while congestion and roadworks require flexibility.

A possible final Italian stop for coffee and sea air if the day is running ahead of plan.
