This short trail introduces you to a charming corner of the Park: Niasca Hermitage.
After passing through Paraggi, take the staircase on the right. It climbs into the woods and leads to the pedestrian path from Paraggi to Portofino. This scenic route runs parallel to the main road, offering stunning views of the bay, known as the "Walk of Kisses".
When you reach a small children's area, leave the pedestrian path and take the right-hand trail leading to the Hermitage of St. Anthony (Niasca Hermitage).
Ascend through a shady valley, and in 5 minutes, you'll arrive at the Eremo di Niasca, built in the 13th century and expanded in the 19th century. The complex and surrounding area have been fully restored.
With the Hermitage on your right, continue uphill on a somewhat hidden path that enters the forest. Climb for about 300 meters to reach the locality of Fossello.
Here, you intersect the path/mule track (drivable at this point) connecting Portofino Vetta to Portofino, marked with a red square . Begin your descent, passing through S. Sebastiano, and in about 20 minutes, you'll arrive in Portofino at the famous "Piazzetta".
To return to Paraggi, retrace the Walk of Kisses in reverse. In about 20 minutes, you'll be back at your starting point.
