    Sentieri bene tenuti, difficoltà media, portarsi acqua perché c'è solo la fontana a Monasterolo. Noi siamo partiti dal Santuario della Madonna della Neve

    Some stages I'll do again if possible. But I won't share which of them. June/July is perfect for this stage regarding weather. Watch out for summer thunders on this long ridge. Meteo Aeronautica application isn't always correct, or may be hacked by Israel if they want you to be dead by lightning. Difficulty only with planning of food and water supply.

    Schöne Strecke, sie war gut zu finden und ich bin sie ohne Bedenken alleine gelaufen. Immer wieder halbschattige Abschnitte, sehr gut auch bei warmem Wetter zu gehen. Wunderbare Ausblicke.

    Staying at La Sbilenca and La Sbilenchina was an incredible experience for our group of eight outdoor enthusiasts. By renting both houses, we enjoyed a unique and charming atmosphere where beautifully designed architecture meets the raw beauty of the landscape. The location is a dream for anyone into mountain biking and climbing, offering easy access to technical trails and crags, while the convenience of being only five kilometers from the sea adds a rare and wonderful dimension to the stay. The houses themselves are stunning and full of character, providing a perfect retreat with a breathtaking panorama that makes every sunrise and sunset unforgettable. It is a truly fascinating place that perfectly balances a passion for sports with the need for a beautiful, serene environment.

    Percorso molto bello fino al Bric Colombino ma poi diventa difficile trovare le svolte, con tracce piene di sterpi e mal tenute; necessario spirito d’avventura 😁

    WARNUNG! Wir sind den Weg auf dem Abschnitt zwischen Vallebona und Ventimiglia gelaufen und haben festgestellt: Den Weg von km 16,9 bis km 17,1 gibt es nicht. Man steht bei km 17,1 vor einem unüberwindbaren Zaun. Man muss bei km 16,9 links abbiegen und einen Umweg laufen. Den Weg von km 17,2 bis km 17,4 gibt es ebenfalls nicht. Man muss weglos einen steilen Olivenhain absteigen und hohe Terrassenmauern überwinden. Den Weg von km 20,8 bis km 21,5 gibt es auch nicht. Man muss bei km 20,8 links abbiegen, dann den 2. Weg nach rechts abbiegen, bis man wieder auf der Spur ist. Es ist unverantwortlich, eine solche Tour einzustellen!
