Day 2: Medieval villages and mountain pools.
We start the day with a walk through the chestnut forests to the medieval village of Triora. Time to explore the maze of alleys before lunch and a well deserved rest. Descend through a terraced landscape to a crystal clear pool immersed in the green of the surrounding forests. Full afternoon swimming and taking the sun. We return to the camp-site early evening. Our Comment: Walking sandals and swimming gear are essential kit for this wonderful day out in a land seemingly untouched by time. View photos of this most beautiful medieval village.
Day 3: Chestnut forests and Waterfalls.
Today is a full day out to swim and expore the mountain rivers and pools of this densely forested land. Plunge pools, waterfalls and smooth rock terraces to snooze in the sun on. Our Comment: This is truly one of our favourite days out in what can only be described as a rare and idyllic 'garden of eden'. View photos of this truly amazing week's events and locations.
Day 4: Gorges and plunge pools.
After breakfast we make a 30 min trip by road to the a nearby river gorge to spend the day slowly making our way down stream. Progress requires walking, swimming and jumping into lower level pools. Plenty of time to take your time in each of your favourite pools. Our Comment: This is what we describe as a beginners guide to canyoning - no ropes, no worries. An adventure to remember forever.

Day 5: Canyoning or a hike for a swim.
For those who felt that yesterday's adventure was a just a taste of things to come, we'll spend a whole day canyoning for real down one of the areas organised routes. For those who'd prefer a more relaxing day out, we'll walk down the valley through some of the regions most lush and amazing vegetation with opportunities to swim along the trail. The walking day finishes in a beautiful medieval village down on the valley floor where you can end your day with a swim before taking your lift back home to camp. Our Comment: This is a really fantastic day out, whichever option you choose, since these are both two journeys through the heart of the local land and culture. View photos of the village from where we'll take you canyoning.
Day 6: 4x4 safari hike.
The big day out to the highest peak in Liguria by 4x4. Up early and a rough and bumpy ride by 4x4 to the top of this most iconic peak at 2200m. Lunch on the peak before an afternoon hike back down. Our Comment: Now and again you sit and look out into wide and distant horizons, contemplating the sheer beauty of the natural world - this is one of those spots to feel so happy to be alive ! View photos of the trip to Liguria's highest peak.
Day 7: A grand finale.
Today gives you a choice of two ways to end what we hope will be looked back on as one of the great family holidays to remember. 1. Hike the Sentieri degli Alpini under the peak of the most southerly 2000m peak of the Alps. 2. Or simply choose to repeat any of the days you enjoyed most. Our Comment: All good things come to an end, but the end of today is the day we have a farewell B-B-Q - and an opportunity for the kids to exchange email addresses with their newly found friends.
Any of the above days can be substituted with a day in Monte Carlo, San Remo or Imperia (city and beach)
Day 8: Transfer day.
We take you back to Ventimiglia from where you can commence your onward journeys.
Each day you'll be taken out to a different location for a full day exploring the southern Alps from very different perspectives - always with emphasis on fun, exploration and adventure. This holiday was created for families wanting to get away from the day-to-day routine for a relaxing mix of invigorating activities requiring no previous experience - fun activities in the sun. These are guided activities, ideal for families with children of the age of 10 and above. Holiday starts and ends in Ventimiglia. Fly to Nice or Genoa. Frequent railway services to Ventimiglia from Nice and Genoa.
Please note: You should be reasonably fit and fairly used to full day physical activity. These are leisurely, fun activities requiring no previous experience. Anyone who is reasonably fit and wants to enjoy a strong feeling of wild, unspoilt nature in the great outdoors, can participate on this holiday.
