You will encounter the unique Calanchi di Terre Bianche, dramatic white erosion formations that add to the scenic beauty. This difficult route covers 10.5 miles (16.9 km) with a significant elevation gain of 3252 feet (991 metres), typically taking around 6 hours and 24 minutes to complete. Prepare for a rewarding experience with varied terrain.

As you hike, you will enjoy sweeping panoramic views of the medieval village of Dolceacqua, its historic Doria Castle, and the surrounding valleys.
