Hiking : SP56

Italy Liguria Provincia di Imperia

Located in the SP56 area, this moderate hiking route offers a 5.256-kilometer trek with an elevation gain of 355 meters. Starting from the designated parking area, hikers will pass by the archaeological site of Castellaro di Monte Bignone around the midway point, approximately 2.63 kilometers from the start. The trail also leads to a viewpoint overlooking the stunning landscape, providing a perfect spot to rest and take in the surroundings.

For those interested in a challenge, Monte Bignone, a notable peak in the region, is accessible from the trail around the same distance as the archaeological site. However, hikers should be prepared for the additional elevation gain and rough terrain if they choose to ascend the peak.

It is recommended to bring an ample supply of water and snacks for this hike, as well as checking the weather forecast beforehand. The route is an out-and-back type, meaning the same trail is taken back to the starting point. Keep in mind the various parking areas along the trail for convenience and make sure to stay on the designated path to avoid getting lost. Enjoy the outdoor adventure and the natural beauty of the SP56 area!
