Levanto-Chiavari: 2-day coast trek

Two days, one single crossing: from the sea of Levanto all the way to Chiavari, on foot.

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from the seafront of Levanto and start a true traverse that runs between the sea and the ridges for two full days. We climb and descend constantly through Mediterranean scrubland, villages facing the water and panoramic headlands: the profile keeps your legs busy the whole way, never boring. We walk above Bonassola and Framura, among views that suddenly open onto the blue, until on day two we reach Chiavari, with the Gulf of Tigullio stretching out in front of us step by step.

This is a stretch of the legendary Sentiero Liguria, the ancient path that connected village to village before the railway arrived: every trail here carries the history of fishermen and farmers who walked it daily.

5 reasons to join - two days immersed in Italy's most beautiful coastline - authentic villages far from the crowds - sea views at every ridge change - a real crossing, not a loop - dinner with the group after a hot shower at the hotel

Who it's for You'll need good legs and the will to walk for two days straight: no technical difficulty, but it's long and asks for basic fitness.

Book your spot: start with the Guidders, sleep in town, come home with Liguria in your legs.

Meeting point in Levanto, on the seafront

We leave the coast and climb a trail winding through bare olive groves and snow-dusted woods. The crisp air and winter silence accompany every step.

C

10:00WATER

Panoramic ridge above Deiva

We climb onto an open ridge with views over the valley and, on clear days, the sea beyond. The winter light sharpens the outline of the snowy hills.

We reach the highest point of day one, among silent woods and an horizon opening onto snowy valleys. Here we stop for a scenic snack break.

Steep descent into the valley

Here the trail drops steadily, step by step, through bare trees and ground that might hide icy patches under the leaves. We take it slow, enjoying every turn of the winter woods.
