The Pennavaire Valley is one of the most enchanting areas in the Ligurian hinterland, an authentic corner that still retains the charm of medieval villages and the beauty of natural landscapes. Castelbianco, with its stone houses and picturesque alleys, serves as the heart of the valley, a place that tells ancient stories and offers unique views amongst forests, olive groves, and rocky cliffs.
This region is a true paradise for outdoor sports enthusiasts: climbing here is among the most renowned destinations in Europe, thanks to the limestone cliffs that attract adventurers from around the world. Meanwhile, trekking and mountain biking allow for the exploration of trails that wind through woods, mule tracks, and breathtaking vistas. For cycling aficionados, in addition to the hilly routes, the bike path stretching from Imperia to Sanremo, entirely along the coast, is a must-do.
Just a few kilometers away, one can find exceptionally beautiful villages like Zuccarello, Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena, and Borgio Verezzi, all characterized by well-preserved medieval atmospheres. The Toirano and Borgio Verezzi caves offer an underground journey through stalactites and prehistoric remains, while the coastline features renowned beaches such as Alassio, Laigueglia, Loano, and Finale Ligure, perfect for a swim or a day at the sea.
A highly appreciated route is the ancient Roman road Julia Augusta, which connects Albenga to Alassio, showcasing archaeological remains and stunning sea views, including the nearby Gallinara Island. During the summer, the musical festival at Borgo Cervo takes place in the seaside square, providing unforgettable experiences at sunset.
The valley is not just about nature and sports; it is also rich in culinary traditions. In the narrow streets of the villages and the local taverns, one can savor typical Ligurian dishes, from the essential focaccia with pesto to fresh fish dishes and stuffed vegetables. It is a region that combines the sea and the mountains, offering travelers diverse and complementary experiences to be enjoyed with slowness and curiosity.
