Ventarola Refuge

The village of Ventarola is located at 846 meters above sea level and is made up of ancient stone houses, some are abandoned, others renovated. The first part of our journey crosses this road center which represented an important link between the Ligurian Riviera and the Po Valley. You can see worked portals and the remains of the stables where the caravans of mules, loaded with goods, used to stop. The house on the left, at the entrance to the oldest center, has been transformed by the Aveto Park Authority into a Refuge where, upon reservation, you can stop. After the inhabited center, we always follow the full yellow triangle, pass the Ventarola stream on the footbridge and continue south on an almost flat cart track.
