Sentiero Italia CAI Liguria

Hiking through Liguria along the Sentiero Italia is an experience of pure landscape balance. Along this narrow crescent of land squeezed between the Apennine ridges and the glare of the Ligurian Sea, the trail turns into an endless balcony. The path does not simply climb; it floats along windy ridges where, on clear days, the eye can sweep from the snow-capped Alpine peaks all the way to the distant outline of Corsica.

It is a journey of striking contrasts: the ruggedness of bare rock alternates with the softness of ancient olive groves and the stubborn geometry of dry-stone walls. Here, villages are not mere stops, but stone nests suspended between sky and sea, where time is measured by the rhythm of steps and the sea breeze rising up the valleys. An itinerary where the wild Mediterranean scrub meets a millenary culture of hard work and beauty, giving hikers the feeling of walking on top of the world while remaining just steps from the waves.
