Before you go

  • The Riviera dei Cedri tourism consortium describes the trail as well marked but warns that some sections can be slippery.
  • A 2022 community track reports about 7.2 km and +400 m, but also notes vegetation and uneven ground: use these figures only as guidance and check current conditions.
  • Hiking shoes and long trousers are advisable; take care near the stream after rain.

Useful sources and tracks

Trails, access, surfaces, vegetation and weather can change. Always check current sources before leaving; for EE-grade or poorly marked routes we recommend a local hiking guide.
