Viewpoint Over the Cliffs of Parco Naturale Regionale di Portofino

Highlight • Viewpoint

The short detour from the actual hiking route is rewarded with a great view! The way there is relatively steep in comparison.

Trail Between Base Zero and Portofino

Highlight • Trail

From Santa Margherita (or Portofino) towards San Fruttuoso, the path overlooks the sea and offers breathtaking views. The zero-based stage is not to be missed. To be avoided in the summer months as it is south facing with great heat.

View of Portofino Bay and the Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

I prefer to see Portofino from above rather than walking around a tourist-catching village. Nothing to envy to much more beautiful, characteristic and enchanting places. Personally, we go there to go elsewhere.

Portofino

Highlight • Settlement

One of the best known Ligurian villages in the world, Portofino is one of the most chic and luxurious places in Italy. The small port overlooking the bay is particularly characteristic.

Portofino Harbor

Highlight • Settlement

Portofino is a jewel of the Ligurian Levant, a very popular destination for tourists. The gulf is enriched by many small boats floating on the sea and an infinity of colorful facades of stately homes. Everything is harmonious and wonderful.
