Leg 1 from Bocca di Magra to Lerici

The leg runs almost entirely inside the Regional Nature Park of Montemarcello - Magra - Vara. Once you climbed up to the hamlet of Montemarcello, the itinerary continues half-way the coastal slope towards Lerici, passing by the hamlet of Serra, with beautiful views over the coast and the Gulf of La Spezia. The vegetation of the area shows a high diversity: from a luxuriant Mediterranean scrubland to the farmed olive trees, from the hols oak forests to the Aleppo pine groves. From Montemarcello you can enjoy a gorgeous view over Punta Corvo. Short detours allow you to visit the hamlet of Tellaro, amazingly stuck on the cliffs, and the beautiful coves of Fiascherino.
