Whether you are an experienced hiker or simply looking for a day immersed in nature, always remember to bring suitable footwear, enough water and the proper respect for the environment around you.
Get ready to follow trails suspended between sea and mountains, cross ancient Ligurian villages and experience the territory in an authentic way between the Gulf of Tigullio and the Gulf of Paradise.
