ポルトフィーノのおすすめツーリングルート

ラパッロとポルトフィーノまでの湾までの非常に美しい景色

Spectacular viewpoint of the coast.

Climbing from Cicagna (north side) and passing through the hamlet of Dezerega, the road is mostly paved, with sections reaching gradients of over 20%. You gain 500 meters of elevation gain in about 5 km. It's very shaded, and from the Crocetta Pass, Rapallo is just a short drive away.

The monumental work, dedicated to the "Hero of Two Worlds," Giuseppe Garibaldi (Nice 1807 - Caprera 1882), was created in marble in 1906 by the master sculptors Repetto of Lavagna, based on a design by the Lombard sculptor Odoardo Tabacchi (Valganna 1831 - Milan 1905). The monument depicts the leader on a rock, his face turned toward the sea and his right index finger extended to indicate the direction Garibaldi's followers should follow. His left hand holds a sword. The rock symbolizes the rock of Quarto (Genoa), from which the Expedition of the Thousand set out for Sicily in 1860 to overthrow the Bourbon government. The monument is located in the historic Ghiaia neighborhood, which is deeply rooted in its traditions; the most famous is the Spring Festival, which consists of the lighting of a bonfire and the free distribution of fritters. "A San Gioxeppe, se ti peu, impi a poela de frisceu..." - "A San Giuseppe, se ti peu, impi a poela de frisceu..." - "A San Giuseppe, se ti peu, impi a poela de frisceu..." - "On Saint Joseph's Day, if you can, fill the pan with fritters." The celebration, in honor of Saint Joseph (March 19), takes place the following Sunday. (c) https://www.comune.santa-margherita-ligure.ge.it/it/vivere/735833

Now in summer the section is very busy.

The best time to visit Portofino by bike is around 9:30, when the day-trippers haven't arrived yet. Later, visitors flood the small town, and traffic is also quieter.

Beautiful location, base and arrival point of the excursion. Consider arriving by train or bus (from Rapallo or Camogli for example) because the few parking lots are very expensive.

beautiful route....
