Tigullio is the coastal territory that stretches between Portofino and Sestri Levante. It offers a hiking network of unparalleled beauty, which allows you to walk surrounded by greenery a stone's throw from the sea, and to quickly reach over 700 meters of altitude.
The best known area is undoubtedly the Portofino Natural Park, nestled between Golfo del Tigullio and Golfo Paradiso: a unique naturalistic oasis for outdoor lovers with 80 kilometers of trails for the most part overlooking the sea.

Descending from the summit of the Park through the Mediterranean scrub and woods shaded by centuries-old trees, it’s amazing to discover the picturesque seaside villages, each with its own character: the colorful houses of Camogli; the unmistakable little square of Portofino; the seafront of Santa Margherita Ligure; the turquoise sea of ​​Paraggi; the rock of Punta Chiappa and the ancient Abbey of San Fruttuoso di Camogli.

The neighboring villages are also interconnected by a network of trails which offer trekking lovers a wide choice of itineraries, varying in length and difficulty, each worthy to be discovered.
We chose to focus on Rapallo, and went in search (not always successfully) of the ancient paths that once peasants used to move from one hamlet to another or to descend to the city, as well as on the neighboring of Zoagli which boasts a system of very panoramic and well maintained hiking options..

We tracked all these paths and these are reported on a map which is now also in paper version available at this address in combination with the digital version too, accessible with the GPS of your Smartphone.
