WHY THIS HIKE

Among crêuze and forts of Genoa

«Un mondo di superbissime fabbriche, e di bellissime ville, formanti in questa parte un teatro naturale, di cui non ha pari l’Europa, e si può dire l’Universo.» Partendo da 20 metri s.l.m., saliremo a 560 metri, da Villa Imperiale al Forte Ratti. Lasciandoci alle spalle la città attraverso un'antica via del sale, godremo di antichi palazzi rinascimentali, santuari secolari, boschi magici e fortificazioni seicentesche, cercando un punto superiore ed extracittadino per poter discutere sul passato, presente e futuro di Genova, la Superba.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandro, an environmental hiking guide since 2024 — though in a sense I always have been. I've lived in Australia, in Canada, in Estonia: different countries, same habit. Reading nature, working out a shift in the wind, listening to colours. You learn these things by being outside, not from books. The place I always come back to is the Liguria of Montale: where the olive tree embraces the vine, where short-toed eagles watch dolphins a few crêuze away. Walking it together means going slowly and noticing all of it, one thing at a time, instead of just passing through. If you'd like to really look at a landscape, we're off — me and the Guidders. 🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
