Torre dell’Orologio (Levanto)

In Levanto, we follow the wide streets “Via Trento” and “Via Trieste” towards Bonassola. We pass Pian Pontasco Farm and turn left. We reach a junction where several paths meet and a large map of the REL is displayed. Here we turn right and follow the steep singletrail uphill. Later the path flattens and goes repeatedly uphill and downhill. We leave the dense pine forest and cross a track. Here we turn right and follow the path to a bench. From there begins the fast singletrail. We stay on the path until a junction. Here we keep left, cross a plateau, and follow the singletrail over steep uphill and downhill passages. At the forest edge, we follow the trail slightly downhill to the coast, where we reach a junction. We turn right and follow a wide track downhill. Via a road, we reach Foce di Dosso and Bardelone. We follow the road uphill, and after about 3 km a paved road turns left. Just a few meters from this junction, a trail turns left. We follow this quite technical section via Colle di Gritta, Madonna del Soccorso, Sopramare, Torre Orologio until we finally reach our starting point Levanto.
