Extend your stay Extend you stay by 1 night and do an extra day's hiking with an overnight stop sleeping in a stone hut (bivouac) overlooking the Gulf of Genova - wood fire and spring water being the base ingredients for the evening meal as the sun sets over the Med. Wake early and watch the sun rise above the Tuscany mountains, painting the sea a beautiful, soft pink as far as the eye can see. For those who don't mind roughing it for a night. This is one of those Kilimanjaro sunset experiences - not to be missed. For those extending for the extra night on the mountains, the hike to the bivouac and overnight stay will be in the company of your local guide.
Stay additional days or and visit Milano, Pisa or Genova for a day, or simply relax on the coast.
