THE HILLS
The Val Vara is ideal for walking, just follow the trails which wind through the Ligurian Apennines.
Monte Gottero, with its 1640 m above sea level, is the highest peak of eastern Liguria or Levante, a meeting point between the provinces of La Spezia, Parma and Massa "Mouth of the Three Borders".
The Gottero consists of sedimentary rock of marine origin (flysch) a sandstone which geologists have christened with the name of the same mountain.
The trail along the ridge (marked AV between two red rectangles) is stunning and the summit can be reached through beautiful beech forests from the valley floor near Sesto Godano and , St. Pietro Vara.
