OUTDOOR

OUTDOOR

TREKKING

The territory of Finale Ligure “outdoor” is full of paths and trails suitable for everyone, from those who want to take a walk to discover its wonders, to top athletes.
We’re showing you three suggestions particularly striking with a hiking degree of difficulty, requiring normal equipment and that you can make throughout the year with some extra caution during the hot summer periods.

THE DISCOVERY OF THE “ALTOPIANO DELLE MANIE”
Overlooking the sea admire vineyards in the “red earth” clay that currently produce excellent wine, holm oak groves, fields, caves and ancient churches, Roman bridges. You will see the flight of the peregrine falcon, the Lacerta ocellata and enjoy the beautiful blue-violet bloom campanula isofilla, endemic species of the Finale stone, a pink limestone that gives shape to the territory. Along the way you will see numerous cliffs that offer climbers from around the world a magnificent rock on which they are equipped thousands of ways. A fascinating journey into an ancient land, already inhabited in prehistoric times and well populated by the Romans.

ALONG THE ROAD OF THE QUEEN, AMONG THE RUINS OF THE MARQUIS “DEL CARRETTO”
The road Beretta, so called from the name of the designer, the military engineer Gaspare Beretta, went into operation in 1666 on the occasion of the passage in Finale of the Infanta of Spain, Margaret, daughter of Philip IV, traveling to Vienna to marry the Emperor Leopold of Austria. The first section of this ancient way of communication, whose middle name was “street of the Queen”, is now a hiking trail that goes from the enchanting Finalborgo which was the capital of the Del Carretto from 1400-1748 to the inland. The route passes by the seventeenth-century Castel San Giovanni, past the imposing ruins of “Castel Gavone” with the elegant Torre dei Diamanti, climb until Perti with his “Church of the five bell towers” and proceeds in suspended Montesordo valley to the meadow of Pian Marino, magnificent valley surrounded by karst forests and limestone walls offers views of wild valleys dominated by oak forests and cliffs and a small deviation permits to visit the ruins of the “Castrum Perticae” Roman and the church of S. Antonino in its crypt there is a cave.

FINALE AND ITS VILLAGES

FINALE AND ITS VILLAGES

The territory of Finale Ligure is historically divided into four districts – Marina, Borgo, Pia and Varigotti – each with its own particularities, its treasures and its ancient stories to unveil to our guests which we suggest going to the discovery of the three villages on the sea the lively Finalmarina, the more rural Finalpia and pretty neighborhood of Varigotti and the ancient inland Finalborgo, the domain of the Marquis del Carretto from durable and glorious past, without missing the colorful little areas (non so bene come tradurre il concetto italiano di “frazione”) of Gorra, Monticello, Olle, Perti, Calvisio , Verzi and Le Manie.

www.visitfinaleligure.it

A special note deserves Finalborgo that for years now has been admitted to the National Club of “The Most Beautiful Villages of Italy”. The Club was created to promote the great heritage of history, art, culture, environment and traditions present in these small Italian towns, ancient and fascinating places, chests of immense cultural and environmental heritage often unknown.
An alternative to mass tourism for those who enjoy a quality tourism and want to live slower and more careful to stay an experience.
8 ancient villages in the province of Savona have been admitted to the Club
To our guests the pleasure of their discovery, starting of course from Finalborgo.
The old village had the greatest development during the Middle Ages, when it was the capital of the Marquisate of Finale, ruled by the Del Carretto and in Spain (seventeenth century).
Del Carretto family ruled the Marquis of Finale until 1602. The country then passed under Habsburg rule until 1713. With the extinction of the Habsburgs the Final Marquis was sold to Genoa. After the Restoration the Ligurian republic came under the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1814 and then after the unification of Italy in the Kingdom of Italy since 1861. Finalborgo remained an independent municipality until 1927, when the four municipalities of Finalborgo, Finalmarina and Finalpia and Varigotti were united to form the town of Finale Ligure.
