Levanto Valley Walks

A myriad of paths linking the various villages of the Levanto Valley allow walkers to explore vine filled terraces and olive groves.

The typically Ligurian rural hamlets are full of charm with their narrow streets and colorfully painted house fronts.
The paths are clearly marked. In any case, with the mountain on one side and the sea on the other, it is not easy to get lost. The signs indicate the time it takes to reach a destination (not the distance).

The following is a description of the walk through the Levanto Valley starting from La Sosta di Ottone III, indicating the time it takes to reach each town.

The round trip will take roughly 6 hours.

Almost every village has a path leading down to Levanto so it’s not necessary for you to complete the whole trip if you’re not interested or get tired.

FROM LEVANTO TO FRAMURA WALK

In 2010 the old railway tunnels connecting Levanto to Bonassola and Framura were reopened to the public as a foot and bike path.
The round trip is about 2 hours long, flat, mostly shaded.
It’s not all under tunnel walking: there are frequent breaks with wonderful sea views and in some points it is possible to walk down to the rocks for a swim or just some restful sunbathing.

There are two alternative ways back to Levanto:
– the higher coastal walk
– the train
