Hiking Difficult
This stage of the Alta Via Dei Monti Liguri climbs into the heart of the Ligurian Alps and takes you to the highest point along the whole long-distance trail, Mount Saccarello (2201m). Stop and enjoy sweeping views across the Ligurian Sea before heading down to the east side of the summit, where you will find a cast-iron statue of the Redeemer, a testament to Italy’s Catholic heritage. Continue on through alpine meadows carpeted with bright pink rhododendron flowers and dense coniferous forests, looking out for the classic alpine fauna as you go: marmots, hare, chamois, and martens. This section of the route ends in Caprauna, a charming town in Piedmont where tourist accommodation is easy to find.
