“The hike on foot will start from the Pian dei Corsi nursery on Melogno Hill. - He explains. Beppe Peretti, CAI hiking companion of Loano - The double-loop itinerary will run almost entirely through woods and meadow clearings, along good trails and dirt roads. On the way we will meet the memorial stone commemorating a group of partisans killed by the Nazi-Fascists, then we will continue until we reach the Siri refuge, a small building erected almost a hundred years ago, renovated and expanded in the 1990s. The hike will continue to the church of San Giacomo, located on the hill of the same name, which in earlier times was an important pass between the Finale area and Piedmont, and positioned in the center of a plateau where we will stop for lunch.
The return will be by a route that will pass through the Praboè locality, past the mighty structures of an important NATO military base now decommissioned and abandoned, past some equally mighty wind turbines and finally take us back to the Pian dei Corsi nursery, where there will be an opportunity to visit the nursery.”
