View of the Ligurian Coast from Parco Naturale Regionale del Beigua

Highlight • Viewpoint

This route is suitable for everyone, but requires a good level of fitness, even on an e-bike. The views are stunning, and the arrival at the refuge is very rewarding.
70% of the route is on asphalt, and 30% is on wooded sections and dirt roads, where riding ability, especially downhill, is recommended.

Casa Miniera Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Exceptional panoramic point, sea view bench sheltered from the mistral wind.

It was built in the 1940s, next to the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri, near "Prato Rotondo", at 1078 meters above sea level.
It was used as a shelter for the workers who worked in the iron mine active, at the time, in that area.
