From Bordighera to Seborga and back
The route begins with a fairly steep climb to reach the ridge, then follows small roads and paths through Sasso, Madonna della Neve and Seborga. The return journey follows the same route but branches off to descend earlier along the River Sasso.
The villages are beautiful, there are lovely views and places to eat and drink in Sasso and Seborga.

Departure from Apricale (Imperia)
Discover two magnificent ancient villages clinging to the mountainside, following the centuries-old paved and wooded path that connected the two villages. It's fun to get "lost" in the narrow streets while keeping the right direction; it's a labyrinth of houses with ancient walls and steep staircases.
