Magnasco Village Cobblestone Streets

Highlight • Settlement

Magnasco is a pretty town. It has an emotional value: it is the country of my father and paternal grandparents.
Just my father, about twenty years ago, took care of the project of restructuring the internal roads of the country.
To date, Magnasco is a small living room and is an excellent scenario for training on the cobblestones: the whole country is passable with a ring of about 300 meters with moderate alternating slopes.

Fun to do a few turns inside!

Tomarlo Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Tomarlo is a real crossroads. In fact, near the summit there are four roads coming from Ferriere (north side), Ponteceno (east side), Santo Stefano d'Aveto (west side) and Passo del Chiodo (south side). The latter is a beautiful road that remains on the coast.

Casermette Hut on Mount Penna

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Casermette del Monte Penna refuge is located in the Aveto Regional Natural Park, about an hour away from the sea, from the motorway exits (Lavagna and Borgo Val di Taro) and from Chiavari station. Originally a logistics base for the State Forestry Corps in the 1920s, it is now known as "Rifugio Penna".
It is located in a picturesque mountainous area between Mount Penna (1,735 meters above sea level) and Mount Pennino, surrounded by a beautiful fir and beech forest.
It offers accommodation, activities such as hiking and rock climbing, and is equipped for E-MTB adventures.
