On this lovely Liguria hiking getaway in Italy, you will have the chance to spend 2-days in the beautiful forests and ridges of Liguria, which have a special charm in autumn. Join me for a revitalizing adventure in nature, and discover some of Liguria’s most amazing spots.

We will set off from Ceriale, where we will meet at 10.00 am. From there, we will explore the South ridge, admiring the views of the mountains on the way until we reach Toirano where we will spend the night. The next day, we will head to Mount Ravinet, which will give us views of the entire gulf of West Liguria. We might even meet some peaceful, grazing horses on the way.

About the guide

Micol

Mountain Leader

My name is Micol Casaleggio, I am a geologist, and I have always been a sportswoman, from horse riding to climbing. In 2019 I became a Mountain Leader (Accompagnatore di Media Montagna) and I joined the Società Guide Alpine Finale team, precisely as a trekking guide.

My goal has always been to work with something that I really like, something that when I come home makes me think I'm happy!

I would like to share the importance and beauty of nature in the mountains as its spokesperson ... I love everything that is nature and exploration, I love hiking because it is freedom!

In parallel to the work that I carry out with satisfaction within the S.G.A.F. I decided to start my own business in which to propose exclusively my accompanied excursions in the mountains, but not only, in fact I offer hiking activities on the Riviera, river trekking, mountain biking, activities with the Pink Mountain project ...

My starting point is Finale Ligure, then ranging throughout Liguria, from the Apennines to my beloved Ligurian Alps, the Maritime Alps, Piedmont, Val d'Aosta, Sardinia and wherever the adventure will lead me ...

I am Trekking Different because trekking is not just walking, but it is the beginning of a path in harmony with nature, it is a way of being of which we must savour the awareness step by step. Of "trekking" we must know the technique and its secrets, remembering that we never challenge nature, but we walk its paths and its mountains to know ourselves.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
