ポンテダッシオのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A classic Ligurian village that deserves a stop in the small streets that distinguish it!

Currently under restoration, very characteristic point

Getting up here is challenging....but very rewarding, for the view and for the satisfaction of having pedaled among the olive trees in perfect solitude, listening to the rhythm of your breathing, with your legs pushing. Priceless emotions!!

On the way to Pizzo d'Evigno there is an abandoned house whose walls have been decorated by artists.

I can only confirm what Roberta said. The dogs (I counted 5) are there all year round, but they make a lot of noise for nothing. I had my own dog with me and there was no stress. Treats helped, of course 😊. The descent is indeed very overgrown at the beginning. We had a few problems finding it at first, but after that it was no problem. Long trousers are definitely recommended though

Super view

We also encountered the sheepdogs at Monte dei Prati. They came barking at us. We spoke to them calmly. Afterwards they wanted to be petted. I'm quite afraid of dogs, but it was OK. It's best to follow the rules of conduct. After this section, the path was quite overgrown with (thorny) bushes for a while. It is therefore advisable to wear long trousers in autumn. The path was generally clearly visible, but a bit adventurous. After about 20 minutes it was fine again...I think it's better in summer...

Adjacent to the cemetery of Vasia, it is the oldest church in the Prelà valley. The sources consulted do not report anything about the possible building existing before the transfer of the area, in 1119, to the Benedictine monks of Lérins, in Provence. The current building is largely due to them: the salient façade, the structure with three naves, the square apse and the external bell tower seem to date back to the late 12th century. In 1453 the church became part of the priory of San Michele di Ventimiglia. The monks ceded all the properties to the consuls of Vasia in 1563. In the 17th century the church was partly restructured in modern forms. The bell tower was lowered at an unspecified time.
