One of the most spectacular hiking trails in Liguria, the most fascinating of the Ligurian Alps, suspended in the void, dug into the rock inside the limestone walls rich in fossils that characterize the Dolomite peaks of the Pietravecchia (2,038 m) and Toraggio (1972) mountains mt). 

The itinerary is located in the province of Imperia and can be reached by crossing the Argentina valley or the Nervia valley up to Colle Melosa. 

And today one of the strong points of the system of routes that constitutes the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri or the route that crosses the entire Ligurian-Po watershed from Ventimiglia to Sarzana and since the end of the 80s it is certainly one of the most compelling wide-ranging itineraries.

  1. The Ligurian Sea is a subdivision of the Mediterranean Sea, whose limits, although not very precise, are delimited by an imaginary triangle whose vertices are: the French Cape Ferrat, neighboring Nice; Punta di Revelatta, near Calvi in Corsica; and Cape Piombino, in Livorno, on the Tuscan coast.
