The programme

Get ready for an adventure among ancient ruins and secret hideouts on the Ligurian riviera: fasten your hiking shoes, say goodbye to your family and set off… to conquer the Grotta dei Falsari!
As you climb the Pilgrims’ path among the rocks, it won’t be the climb that leaves you breathless: eyes peeled, smartphone ready, and the challenge is who can snap the best views.
When you encounter the ruins of the Lazzaretto look around: can you spot the island of Bergeggi in the distance?
You’ll come across other super views among the ruins of the church of San Lazzaro and farther on toward the church of Santa Margherita.
Climb a bit further, it’s worth the effort: at the retreat of Captain De Albertis you might still be able to smell the scents of the rare plants in his garden, collected during his many sea journeys.
You’re there: explore the heart of the mountain, enter the Grotta dei Falsari, where bandits and pirates hid their wares in the attempt to evade the law.
And before you head back, a snack is just what you need: here you eat an outstanding Ligurian focaccia!
