From Bavari to Bogliasco

Access

From Sturla, with the Amt lines, go up to Bavari.

Introduction

BaBo. From Bavari to Bogliasco: a crossing from the hinterland to the sea...

It is, perhaps, one of the most unusual routes on the heights of the Levante genovese, a stone's throw from the town, but, at the same time, distant and somewhat convoluted in its development, finally ending at the seashore... For logistical reasons, we choose the route between Bavari and Bogliasco, which, moreover, is easier, with a lower uphill gradient of about 300 m, and, therefore, usable by a greater number of users.

Description

After the bus ascent to Bavari, we head towards Monte Fasce without reaching it. Initially, you gain height to pass the Riega, Proi and Bastia mountains in succession (848 m, the highest point of the day). In the central part, we insist for a stretch on Provincial Road No. 67 del Liberale, which has little traffic, but beware of motorbikes that sometimes whiz past... We skim past Mounts Cordona and Rotondo and, from a car park at Bocchin di Pozzuolo, descend towards the coast. You pass near Santa Croce and continue to lose altitude until you reach Bogliasco. The best time of year is from late autumn to early spring, on a fine day that Liguria often offers, but the length of the route is not trivial... it is better not to start late in the morning, when the hours of daylight are reduced... +600 m -900 m, average diff., about 5h15 of walking, return home with the Amt lines near Capolungo or with the train from Bogliasco.
