Leg 7 from Moneglia to Sestri Levante

the leg, that ends in the “caruggi” (alleys) of the historic centre of Sestri Levante, develops almost entirely in two Sites of Community Importance (SCI): one shared between the municipalities of Moneglia, Sestri Levante and Casarza Ligure, the other in the area of the old Segesta. The trail runs through the Mediterranean scrubland, flanking steep into the water plunging cliffs, with gorgeous views over the sea. When the sky is particularly clear it is possible to see the islands of the Tuscan archipelago and Corsica and, westwards, the tops of the Ligurian Alps, covered with snow in winter. Halfway the itinerary the wide sandy beaches of Riva Trigoso and its famous, over a century old, shipyards can be admired.
