Trekking on the Portofino Promontory
More and more people are now choosing the paths of the Mountain of Portofino to spend a different day, far from the traffic and from the crowds of towns: expert walkers and occasional walkers united by the love for nature, they fall in love with these paths which offer amazing views and the quiet of an unique environment.
The small village of San Fruttuoso represents the ideal destination for these excursions, not only because from here all boats directed to Portofino, Santa Margherita and Rapallo leave, from where it is then easy the return to the towns where they have come from, but also because from here many of the paths which cross the Park of Portofino leave.
The return by boat has therefore become a “must” of these excursions, both for the quiet pleasure of a comfortable trip by boat after the weariness of the walk and both for the curiosity to locate from the sea the path just covered.
There are many possibility on the mountain, many those by sea: we will be very happy to suggest the itinerary most suitable to your necessities, in order to enjoy completely the views of the environment.
