I do it at least once a month throughout the year, and this hike still surprises me with its light and colour.

The walk is pleasant with beautiful scenery.
However, the elevation changes seem greater than indicated, and the marked path differs from the Visorando route several times, which is annoying.
We did not complete the last part.

Very beautiful hike
We are a couple aged 65 and 67
The climb up to the tower is a bit challenging but doable for people in good shape

A very beautiful hike, not to be missed, which I highly recommend, but which means it gets very crowded.

A must-see hike in the region, the Genoese tower at Capo Rosso is well worth the detour. Set amid the distinctive red rock formations of the Calanques de Piana, the view is breathtaking.
We did this hike in early October when it was 25 degrees, starting at 9:30 a.m.
There were already quite a few people there and it was quite hot (there is almost no shade along the route)
The route deviates slightly from the itinerary but is easy to follow.
3 hours 15 minutes round trip, no notable difficulties

A superb hike that begins with a 45-minute descent through a few trees.
The narrow corridor climbing up the rock face is so well prepared that it feels like climbing steps.
In the tower, the spiral staircase requires a little care, but the views from the top are magnificent.
Of course, the hike ends with a 45-minute climb
Having started the hike at noon (!) when it was very hot, there were few people in my direction, but quite a few in the other direction. The same was true on the way back. The car park was full. The next day, it was even more than full.
The round trip took 3 hours and 45 minutes with numerous photo stops and a sandwich break at the foot of the tower.
Before the hike, when I wanted to buy a bottle of Orezza to supplement my lukewarm water bottles, the young man working at the bar/restaurant offered to fill my water bottle with fresh water drawn directly from the source. Much appreciated. The same goes for the Pietra on the way back. And the splendid Arone beach, of course.

An unmissable hike, truly magnificent. The climb up to the tower in sunny weather will make you sweat. Take plenty of water with you. We did the round trip in just under 4½ hours, stopping for half an hour at the tower and taking lots of short breaks to take photos or catch our breath.

Hello,
I only gave 4 stars for reliability because when we arrived at the site, we realised that the return route had been closed for safety reasons. I wasn't informed of this when planning the hike.
This does not detract from the beauty of the site or its interest.
Be careful, it can get very hot on the trail.
Enjoy your hike!

I did this walk at the end of April. There were already quite a few people in the car park. The option via the coastal path is closed at this time of year for reasons of wildlife protection.
The final climb to the tower is quite steep, but the view from the top is well worth it!

The weather was variable. The path is as described, with no major difficulties, but you really do need good shoes to get to the cape as the rock is slippery in wet weather. The views are splendid and varied as you go along, particularly through the rocks where you can see the calanques of Piana. We can't wait to come back in good weather to see the landscape in a different light. What went down must come up again, so the return was a long climb....

A very nice walk, done early in the morning (leave at 6.30am at the latest), which allowed you to enjoy the coolness and the sunrise over Capu Rosso.
You'll need hiking boots and plenty of water (2 litres per person), as it gets very hot very quickly (even at 10am) and the return journey is uphill.
The final ascent to Capu Ross is easier if you approach it from the left.
Magnificent views of the sea and Capu Rosso

We did this walk with my wife and the climb up to the tower is quite strenuous and we found that there was a lack of signposting on the approach to the tower.
