Two days deep in Alta Val Tanaro’s nature, along easy trails

Magnificent natural sceneries will be the background to hikes where dates with people who have lived and worked in the mountains (and keep doing so) won’t lack.

Later, we’ll reach Chionea (1102m) and having the same name Colla (1223m) through wonderful edible chestnut woods. One last stretch of town road will take us back to Ormea.
Total height difference, both uphill and downhill, circa 550m, difficulty for hikers (E).

2nd day: From the hamlet of Nasagò di Ormea we’ll climb up to Eca (999m), panoramic spot on the High Valley and on the Sarrazin Tower of Barchi. After meeting a local cheese maker and a visit to the hamlets of Giorea and Vacieu, we’ll reach (1104m) and from here we’ll go back down to Ormea.
Total height difference, both uphill and downhill circa 500m, difficulty for hikers (E).


Both trails may be shortened according to people’s needs and age. It’s possible to reach Ormea by public transport from Imperia and Cuneo (Autolinee Viani) and from Ceva (Trenitalia).
