Basilica of Saint Stephen (Lavagna)

Highlight • Religious Site

you have to climb a few stairs to get up to the basilica. It's worth it, because the interior of the church is magnificent - as is usual in this area. The nave looks golden from the inside.

Descent from Monte Bocco to Borgonovo

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The climb is long but not demanding .... the descent is fantastic. Always with due prudence remembering poor Weylandt, the long snake that descends to Borgonovo, if you are lucky enough not to encounter too many cars and motorcycles, with its curves, counter-curves and hairpin bends is exhilarating...🤩

Bocco Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At Passo del Bocco it is possible to stop and have a coffee or even eat at the Devoto refuge. Then you can continue as well as for Varese Ligure as I did, also for Parma.

Passo del Biscia

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Passo del Biscia (Nattern Pass) is a very small pass at an altitude of 892 meters that connects the large Vara valley with the Ligurian coast.
Both sides of the pass are very scenic and near the top of the pass you have a wonderful view of the Tigullian Gulf. Unfortunately, the side into the Varatal (which flows south of La Spezia into the Ligurian Sea) is in a very bad condition, so that you can only recommend a ride on a racing bike from the Varatal to the coast with a clear conscience.
The long and very lonely driveway from the Vara valley runs very irregularly with short intermediate descents, while the side coming from the coast is two-lane and very regular over large parts. On this side there is a quarry, which brings some truck traffic with it and may explain the much better road condition.
At the top of the pass there are some very recommendable hikes that are also part of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri.
The descent by racing bike towards the coast is highly recommended: speedy and winding on a good surface all the way down to Lavagna or Chiavari.

I DON'T HAVE A GRAVEL... NOR A MOUNTAIN-BIKE.... I don't have a gravel or a mountain-bike 🤔😖... I promised myself I would never ride dirt roads again, but when you plan a route in a hurry it can happen of finding a piece of non-dirt road, but much, much worse and when you ask yourself whether it is better to …
