BORGIO VEREZZI

(Junction 02) go past the cemetery and then shortly head uphill along via Chiappelle. After a few metres leave the asphalt road to follow a wide path which runs up on the right through the vegetable patches. It runs up the olive groves going past a tank for collecting water. Once you reach a junction along a short flat section (Junction 05) turn left (red arrow on rock). Continue up a panoramic path and up the hair pin bends, the view opens up over Borgo Verezzi all the way to the Gallinara island, until you almost reach the top of Monte Grosso where you will find a junction. Continue along flat terrain to the left (westerly direction), after a few dozen metres you will reach the “Y” shaped junction. Follow to the right on the flat (red marks and arrow on rock) and at the next junction continue straight on and along flat terrain, continue along a slightly downhill section ignoring the various junctions, passing under the electricity cables of the pylons and reach a fenced off area. Ignoring the junction which runs down to the left towards the pylons (marked as A.T.C. SV2 Voliera di Ambientamento) continue straight on for a few metres to reach another junction. Gradually climb up to the right along the fence and climbing up straight after to the left (metal plaque marking the path “Sentiero Liguria” – Luni su roccia). Descending the last section you will shortly reach a flat area with a majestic pine tree, a water source and a wooden shelter with benches and tables (dog training field). It is worth taking a break in this point, you are now half way along the itinerary and then it is all downhill. Gradual-

ly climb up to the right (north-west direction) to then descend with panoramic view over the town of Gorra and over Rocca di Perti (follow sign posts Sentiero Liguria Luni – Ventimiglia). In a few minutes reach a junction (Junction 12) near a “teccio” (small stone building with wooden tiles) from here go down to the right continuing along the flat along a wide path. Cross over the fence which runs along the dog area and then walk along an asphalt and uneven road reaching a junction. Go down to the left along the asphalt. Once you reach the junction near a large stone gas unit with yellow pipes descend to the right (towards Bottassano) along a wide path. Once you reach an evident junction near an olive grove continue straight downhill. Reach another evident junction on the right where you turn right along the flat (easterly direction) then down the asphalt road. Continue for a long section on flat on asphalt road following Torrente Bottassano and then passing below the motorway viaduct. Cross the bridge and walk shortly up to reach a junction. Go down to the right always along the asphalt road to enter the commune of Borgio Verezzi, go past a small industrial area and reach the starting point.
