라팔로와 포르토피노까지의 만까지 매우 아름다운 전망

beautiful, quiet pass with picnic area

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.

Situated at 956 meters between the Vara and Aveto Valleys, the Bocco Pass is one of the historic passes of the Ligurian Apennines, used since ancient times as a connection between the Tyrrhenian coast and the Po Valley hinterland. Already in Roman times, it was part of a secondary transit network, but it was especially in the Middle Ages and modern times that the pass assumed a central role in local traffic: a route for merchants, shepherds, and pilgrims, it connected Chiavari and the Riviera with Varese Ligure and the Emilian plains. Traces of the ancient paving are still visible today in the surrounding woods. During the Second World War, the area served as a refuge for partisan groups, thanks to its secluded location and dense forest cover. Today, the pass is a destination for cyclists and hikers, immersed in an unspoiled mountain landscape of beech and fir forests and highland meadows, at the gateway to the Aveto Regional Natural Park.

The Crocetta Pass (599 m), on the road between Rapallo and Coreglia Ligure, is an important Ligurian cycling destination. Also reachable by car, it represents the ideal starting point for excursions to Monte Pegge or Montallegro.

Also accessible by car, Passo della Crocceta is the starting point for Monte Pegge or Montallegro

For the "downhill" enthusiasts, descending from the Bocco is pure pleasure .... but always with the necessary prudence and concentration!

The pass that separates the villages of Loto and San Bernardo offers a suggestive view of the hills in front and the valley of the Gromolo river. At the pass begins the dirt road that leads to Monte Costello and Monte Capenardo, indicated by a sign from the Ligurian Hiking Network.
