Osiglia walks

Walk along the left bank of Lago di Osiglia, an artificial lake created in the late 1930s and the largest lake in the province of Savona. Hike along a quiet, tarmac road to a circular bend in the lake.

A walk starting and finishing at the Cascina del Vai agriturismo. It takes you around the Bric della Ressia and through the Calanchi della Ressia. There are numerous loamy rock formations and views across the entire region.

Breathtaking views of the entire bay, ridges, an authentic village and cows in season are what you will discover on this hike. The route is very well marked.

The walk through this olive grove, the discovery of Valloria—a veritable timeless museum where visitors can escape, let their imaginations run wild and lose track of time for a moment—and the walk through Bellissini with its many mural hot-air balloons will leave all hikers deeply impressed by what they have seen along this route.

This route passes through numerous medieval villages in five very different valleys: Valle Argentina, Valle Nervia, Valle Barbaira, Valle Bevera and Valle Roja (Roya). You will stop off in typical Ligurian villages, some of which are listed among the “Most Beautiful Villages in Italy”.

This first stage will take you from Triora to Pigna. Triora is a medieval village known as the “village of witches” (il paese delle streghe). It is the most important village in the Argentina Valley. Triora is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. After walking along the Nervia, you will arrive in Pigna. The historic centre of the village is distinctive for its narrow streets arranged in concentric rings around the houses. Pigna is also a spa town.

This hike begins and ends with a walk through the village of Triora, ranked among the most beautiful villages in Italy. It is a perfect example of a medieval village, where every alleyway, every small square, every wall and every building bears witness to centuries of history and tradition. The wooded valley, the old bridge overlooking the Argentina valley, and the two other hamlets you pass through will capture your attention.
