Embark on a challenging hike through the hamlets and municipal forest of Dolcedo, a route spanning 9.4 miles (15.2 km) with a significant 2397 feet (730 metres) of elevation gain. This difficult journey, estimated to take around 5 hours and 4 minutes, immerses you in a diverse landscape. You will wander through ancient stone villages, past historic bridges, and into verdant olive groves. The trail also leads you through dense chestnut and oak forests, offering a constantly changing natural backdrop.
Prepare for varied terrain including natural paths, paved sections, and ancient mule tracks. Some parts of the route, especially near Bellissimi, can be very steep and potentially slippery, so sure-footedness is essential. While no specific permits or fees are mentioned, always wear appropriate footwear to handle the diverse surfaces. This route offers an authentic glimpse into local life in a less touristy part of Liguria.
This hike is a deep dive into the cultural and natural beauty of the Ligurian hinterland. You will discover the charm of ancient hamlets, complete with historic stone houses and medieval bridges. A highlight includes the emerald Laghetti di Lecchiore, a series of small lakes and waterfalls carved into rock, perfect for a refreshing stop. You can also enjoy expansive views of the Ligurian Coast from Santa Brigida, adding a scenic reward to your effort.
