Passeggiate a Ponente

52 itineraries chosen from the most interesting that wind through the mountains and the sea of the Western Ligurian Riviera, with frequent references to the political and military history that characterized and influenced the life of the Ligurian people. The guide leads the hiker along splendid routes marked by the traces that human presence has left in Western Liguria since prehistoric times, without forgetting the frescoes and sculptures visible in the chapels and churches or on the portals of village houses. The dominant note is the uniqueness of Ligurian nature, which allows you to range from the 2000 meters of the Maritime Alps to the sea with variety not only of landscape, but also of vegetation and fauna. In fact, numerous species of mountain plants dating back to the ice age and/or endemic in restricted maritime areas are known. Naturally, there is no lack of information on the traditional gastronomic aspects of the hinterland. Of particular importance is the fact that almost all itineraries are practicable even during the winter months.
