Day Hikes Near Genova
One of the many advantages of Genova is its proximity to a number of wonderful (and sometimes even challenging) day hikes in the Ligurian Apennines surrounding the city. One of Italy's most famous and beautiful long-distance hiking trails, the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri, passes by Genova a few miles inland. Several sections of this well-marked trail can be easily managed in a few spare hours of walking time. For all hikes listed you should purchase a good map of a scale no larger than 1:50.000. The writer of these lines used the following map which conveniently covers all listed walks: Istituto Geografico Centrale (Torino), Carta dei Sentieri e dei rifugi No. 16: Genova Varazze Ovada (1:50.000). For public transportation timetables, see www.ferroviedellostato.it/ for trains and http://www.orariotrasporti.regione.liguria.it for the indispensable Autolinee Liguri, or ALI for short. If you don't have access to the web, the ALI office on Piazza Vittoria has paper versions of most schedules. |
