This isn't a trekking route, but a pleasant walk connecting Rapallo to Santa Margherita Ligure, steering clear of coastal traffic.
Start on Corso Colombo, near Ponte Annibale. Take the small path next to the bridge, weaving between buildings and climbing up to Via Aurelia di Ponente. You'll soon find via San Nicola on your left. This pedestrian path winds between villa walls, offering occasional views of the bay of San Michele di Pagana. Ignore side paths (those on the left lead to the beach) and continue straight to reach a road in San Michele di Pagana.
Here, take Via degli Aranci, the staircase on your left that descends alongside the railway. Cross Via Meucci, follow it briefly to the right, then continue on Via Fioria towards the sea. Just before the railway bridge, find via Donega on the right.
The narrow path, also known as Via Banchi further along, starts at the beginning of Via Donega, to the left, between a condominium staircase and a private road leading to residences.
The mule track, named Via Banchi ahead, ascends between high walls to a junction. Turn right to reach P.so dell' Alloro. Continue left, passing houses, until you reach a staircase with a wide view of Santa Margherita Ligure.
Descend the stone steps, crossing over the railway station, to arrive at Santa Margherita Ligure on via Roma, at the intersection with via Pagana.
