EXPERIENTIAL PACKAGE
“Trekking in Liguria”
(4 days – 3 nights)
DAY 1
Arrival in the afternoon, hotel check-in, dinner, and overnight stay.
DAY 2: Argentina Valley
The hike we suggest for your first day takes place in the Argentina Valley. From Arma di Taggia, continue toward the valley. The loop starts at the junction for the village of Gavano, just before reaching Molini di Triora.
A challenging climb—first on asphalt and then on dirt road—leads to Grattino and Passo Drego. From there, a fun and long singletrack descends to Molini di Triora. The total route is approximately 20 km over mixed terrain.
Return to the hotel, dinner, and overnight stay.
DAY 3: Nervia Valley
The starting point of this trail in the upper Nervia Valley is Colla Melosa (1541 m), well beyond the ancient villages of Pigna and Castelvittorio. The route continues to Monte Grai Refuge, then climbs further beneath the towering presence of Mount Pietravecchia (over 2000 m).
After passing the southern wall of Mount Toraggio, the trail descends along a beautiful path carved into the rock, reaching the Gola dell’Incisa, and continues toward the Alta Via pass. A dirt road then leads back to Monte Grai Refuge and Colla Melosa.
Return to the hotel, dinner, and overnight stay.
DAY 4: Western Liguria Coastal Park
In the morning, we propose a leisurely walk along the Western Liguria Coastal Park trail, inaugurated in 2008 on the former railway line. Expect stunning views between the Ligurian Sea and Mediterranean flora.
