WHY THIS HIKE

The Ligurian bays trail

A journey, a vertical adventure along the Baie Trail, a ridge suspended between the wild green and the turquoise abyss of Liguria. The route winds along sheer cliffs that plunge into the heart of the Pelagos Sanctuary, where the infinite horizon opens onto the routes of the great cetaceans. We will cross an intricate and fragrant Mediterranean scrub, overcoming passages that offer fabulous views of hidden bays. Every step between ancient rocks and maritime pines bent by the wind will lead us to the discovery of seaside villages set in the coast like precious gems. It is not just a walk, but a total immersion in the most intimate and secret nature of the Ligurian Riviera.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Gianpaolo, an environmental hiking guide and tour leader: from Brianza originally, but long since at home in the province of Parma. My real home, though, is whatever trail I'm walking. I carry the mountains in my heart and a passion for long-distance routes in my backpack, and I don't have a favourite place: lacing up my boots and setting off is enough. What I enjoy most is sharing kilometres and feelings with whoever is walking beside me, because every outing is a journey and every group a new story to live step by step. The backpack is always ready. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
