WHY THIS HIKE

The Rapallo-Montallegro loop over the Tigullio

From the sea at Rapallo to a sanctuary above the gulf.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from the seafront at Rapallo and climb old Ligurian mule tracks to the sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Montallegro, looking out over the Gulf of Tigullio. In a few kilometres you go from sea level to inland views, through Mediterranean woodland with constant glimpses of the water. The return closes the loop back to Rapallo: a complete outing, where the climb makes itself felt and gives everything back.

5 reasons to come - the sanctuary of Montallegro, above the Tigullio - the old Ligurian mule tracks - going from sea to hinterland in a few hours - constant glimpses of the gulf as you climb - a loop that does not repeat itself

Who it suits A rewarding but continuous climb on mule tracks: normal walking fitness is enough.

One of the finest circuits on the Riviera di Levante: come and do it with the Guidders.

HOW TO GET THERE
08:30PARKING
Departure
We'll park the car on Via Pietrafraccia, near the entrance to Parco Casale. From there, we'll take a mule track that quickly turns into a stepped path, climbing steadily uphill. The trail winds between high walls, occasionally opening up to flat sections that offer stunning panoramic views of the village of Rapallo below.
11:30VIEWPOINT
Montallegro: Hike to Remember.
"Reaching Montallegro is the highlight of this experience. Here, the trek truly transforms: the panoramic views open up before you, you can really feel the altitude you've gained, and it's time for a well-deserved break with a view. The sanctuary is one of the area's most symbolic landmarks and marks the most iconic moment of the hike. It's the perfect spot for photos, snacks, and a chance to recharge."
15:00RETURN
Back to Rapallo.
The descent concludes the loop with a smoother, more dynamic section, leading back to Rapallo. The return leg keeps the trek interesting thanks to the ever-changing scenery and the wonderful feeling of seeing the sea gradually getting closer with each step. It's the perfect ending to a compact yet fulfilling hike.
