There is no better way to enjoy the natural
beauties of the Riviera Ligure delle Palme than to go for a walk, immersed
in the colors and odors that unite the sea and the land in this part of
Liguria in such a unique manner.
Walking as a pleasure, then, but also
walking as a sport. Here the trekking routes offer delights all the year
round: excursions at the height of winter through the scented Mediterranean
maquis and pleasant summer strolls in the shade of the vast pine and beech
woods of the mountains back from the coast, in the most wooded region of
Italy.
A wide range of itineraries, suited to family walks or to marathon
runners in training, is described in the many practical guides that have
been published. Whole days can be spent rambling up and down the plateaus of
the Riviera, in search of unusual panoramas or traces of history along the
trails cut long ago in the stone and yet still intact, along the Alta Via
dei Monti Liguri.
And then you might run into a naturalist on the track of a rare flower,
or a speleologist just emerged from a cave filled with history, or a
photographer intent on capturing incredible landscapes and surprising views.
But you are most likely to meet hunters, or simple tourists and sportsmen
and women looking for strong sensations in a still unspoiled environment.
