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.

Panoramic road between Lavagna and Cavi

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Panoramic road which, remaining on the coast, allows you to avoid the traffic of the coast road between Cavi and Lavagna. The effort is rewarded by the exceptional view.
