EWS Rock and Roll

From Finale Ligure follow the directions to Residence Rubino and reach the start of the well-known Ciappi trail. Keep right at the first and second junction, reach Campo Rotondo and pick up the trail that climbs on a rock-slab next to the impressive prehistoric shelters. Past Calvisio Vecchio continue to Verzi and to Strada Romana, a dirt road that takes you in no time to the first of the five Roman bridges. At the T-junction keep right and climb towards the Manie plateau, not far from a restaurant. Keep going until you reach the junction near the bridge, keep left and follow the dirt road that takes you back to the Manie Provincial road. Turn right, pick up the dirt road that starts on your left after a few metres and follow it until you reach the panoramic spot overlooking the Noli bay, well-known as i decolli; this is where the technical and rocky trail that leads to the San Michele church begins. Leave Noli going in the direction of the coast and turn onto the Provincial road that goes back to the Manie plateau: follow it until you reach Bric dei Crovi. Take the downhill trail down to the fork, keep right, reach the crossroads and then keep going straight towards Varigotti first and towards Finale Ligure later on. Along the route you can admire the terraces made with ancient dry-stone walls. Do not miss the cave Arma delle Manie, inhabited since prehistoric ages and famous for the important archaeological excavations carried out inside it.
