Bavari-Marassi: along the ridges fortified by the Savoys

Access

Better to use the Genoa Amt buses than private transport.

Introduction

Panoramic ridge descending towards the city of Genoa.

Description

From the start in Bavari (310 m), reached by Amt vehicles, we climb through the forest to Forte Ratti (577 m - 1h15). Afterwards, you lose altitude on a track made slippery by many weeks of rain, proceeding very slowly. Continue following the ridges and passing by the Quezzi Tower. Finally, you descend towards Marassi, coming out of the stadium (2h15)... Always by bus back home. The trail is partly signposted by Fie volunteers, but to maximise the results, it is sometimes abandoned, mostly following the scenic ridge. Although there are no signposts, the trail is always well marked and does not present any particular orientation problems.
In short: Height difference +400m -700m, Diff. E, 3h30 tot. + the visit of the Ratti fort and other breaks
