Alpine greenery,
limestone rocks and wilderness,
preserved through time

Pennavaire Valley

one of the most wild valleys in Liguria

Rocky cliffs interchange with the Mediterranean scrub where the Ligurian Alps nearly reach the coast. The proximity between the “early” Alps and the Ligurian Riviera generates peculiar landscapes: the trails cross alpine pastures, while the viewer’s gaze wanders in the distance over the sea.

The Mediterranean climate gives mild winters and cool, pleasant summers. Near the coast, the valley has terracing farms planted with olive trees and wild broom; higher up, alpine vegetation takes over, with soaring pines reaching for the sky, rhododendrons and edelweiss, as well as a variety of flowers unique in the world. The Ligurian Alps are a karstic region, home to more than 1,500 caves, a true caving paradise.

Day trips and hikes

Stage of the Alta Via of Ligurian Alps

The Pennavaire Valley is characterized by ancient limestone rocks and wilderness, which, over time, has been preserved thanks to a very minimal impact on the environment.

The green plateaus and forests plummet into steep cliffs or caves; from the paths you can admire wonderful views of the Mediterranean Sea, which ensures a quite mild climate, Pian dell’Arma is on the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri, our facility is a support base for the eighth and ninth stages of this unique route and is the departure point for numerous day trips.

Selected routes to be hiked individually or accompanied by experienced guides, combining the desire to explore and fitness.
