Adding new photographs of Liguria,
the Italian Rivieras and Italy every month. |
This walk, apart from it's sheer beauty, goes to show the remarkable variety of landscape that exits in this region from the subtropical vegetation at sea level below, only just over an hour away, to the full Alpine environment here. We start at 1200 m a.s.l. at the Restaurant and refuge Gola di Gouta (on clear days here you can see right over to the distant sea) and amongst lush green meadows, we take the short piece of road down to then start our pleasant circular walk.
Then suddenly we leave the open meadows and enter the magical world of the white abies fir trees in a totally alpine environment. We follow a lovely and practically flat route into the woods where deer abound, in the refreshing and pungent air. It's worth noting the effects of light and shade the sun plays through the thick woods. We eventually reach a stream and veer left on a brief incline and then after a short descent we arrive at the lovely open meadows that mark "Margheria dei boschi" - an ideal spot for a picnic. After a brief walk back on the provincial road, we reach our starting point at the restaurant. This walk is particularly recommended on hot days where you can relax in the fresh Alpine air. |
