WHY THIS HIKE

Summer solstice under the stars over the sea

A magical night awaits you on an adventurous hike through beaches, Ligurian Apennine hills, and villages perched above the sea!

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

The experience

On the night of the Summer Solstice, when the sky blazes with stars and nature celebrates the changing season, we'll traverse trails that wind their way along the coast.

Join us on a slow-paced journey amidst Mediterranean fragrances, ancient illuminated villages, and the silence of the night, whispering age-old tales.

This is a nighttime adventure where the beaches are cloaked in mystery, and the Ligurian hills offer breathtaking views, culminating in admiring the twinkling lights of the fishing villages overlooking the sea.

Itinerary:

10:00 PM: Hike departure from Levanto (SP) train station 11:00 PM: Visit to a traditional fishing village 1:00 AM: Sella dei Bagari, nature trail through the Ligurian hills 3:00 AM: Panoramic promontory overlooking the sea 5:00 AM: Hike on a nature trail under the stars with a sea view 6:30 AM: End of hike, breakfast with Ligurian focaccia and farewells

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!
