Start your jogging adventure on the Maremonti Path and Witches' Coast Loop, a moderate route spanning 4.3 miles (6.8 km) with an elevation gain of 629 feet (192 metres). You can expect to complete this trail in about 50 minutes. The path follows a former railway line, leading you through cool, illuminated tunnels that offer a unique contrast to the bright Ligurian coast. As you emerge, you will be greeted by open sections providing wide views of the sea. Keep an eye out for the historic Old Railway Tunnel and the scenic La Francesca Cliffs, which add character to your run.
This paved route is suitable for all fitness levels, making it a great option for a family-friendly outing. The trail is well-maintained and connects the charming coastal villages of Levanto and Bonassola. You will find parking available in both towns, offering convenient access points. Public transport via train is also an option if you prefer not to drive, with stations in both villages.
This trail offers a unique blend of history and nature, transforming an old railway line into an active jogging path. The transition from the cool, dark tunnels to the sunny coastal vistas creates a memorable experience. It is a notable route in the region for its accessibility and the way it showcases the Ligurian coastline, providing a different perspective than typical mountain trails.
