The Laghetti di Nervi trail offers a tranquil escape near Genoa, leading you through a series of small, clear pools and waterfalls nestled within the Ligurian Apennines. You'll start on easy sections, including paved roads and traditional Ligurian uphill paths lined with olive and lemon trees, before encountering singletrack sections. The primary highlight is the natural pools, some with blue-green waters and clear bottoms, like the notable Lago delle Oche. This easy hike covers 2.3 miles (3.7 km) with an elevation gain of 354 feet (108 metres), typically taking about 1 hour and 6 minutes to complete. Be prepared for varied terrain, as some parts might require walking through water, especially after rain.
The initial sections of the Laghetti di Nervi trail are considered easy and suitable for most fitness levels, making it a popular choice for families. You can reach the first lakes in about 30 minutes from the start. However, if you venture further upstream to reach higher lakes, the paths can become steeper and more uneven, requiring good fitness and sure-footedness. Waterproof shoes are advisable, particularly after rainfall, to comfortably navigate potential wet sections.
This trail is remarkable for being a natural oasis just a short distance from the urban environment of Genoa, providing an accessible escape into nature. The series of natural pools and small waterfalls offer a unique opportunity for relaxation, and in warmer months, you can even swim in the cooler waters. The trail transforms with the seasons, offering a popular swimming spot in summer and different natural beauty during winter.
