Embark on the difficult Alta Via dei Monti Liguri: Stage 38, a challenging hike spanning 12.4 miles (19.9 km) with a significant elevation gain of 3775 feet (1151 metres). This route will take you through the dense beech woods of Monte Gottero, an area rich in diverse flora. You can expect panoramic views of the Apuan Alps and the Gulf of Poets, with the possibility of seeing Corsica or the distant Alps on clear days. The journey is estimated to take around 8 hours and 6 minutes, offering a full day of immersive hiking.
When planning your hike on this stage, be aware that it is a long and difficult route, requiring a full day of effort. The trail is clearly marked with red-white-red blazes and the "AV" initials, which helps with navigation. Make sure you are well-prepared for the significant elevation gain and the overall demanding nature of the hike. Starting early in the day is advisable to allow ample time to complete the journey before dark.
This stage is notable for its passage through a wildlife oasis within the beech woods of Monte Gottero. A significant highlight is the Foce dei Tre Confini, also known as the Three Borders Monument, which marks a historical border point between former Italian states. This unique feature adds a layer of historical context to your outdoor adventure, distinguishing it from other trails in the region.
