The area · Around Bordighera
Ligurian Alps
In just over an hour from the sea you’re up in the mountains: the Gouta woods, Colle Melosa and the Sentiero degli Alpini beneath the rock faces of Monte Toraggio, all the way to Triora, the village of the Valle Argentina. Cool air in summer and, on clear days, views reaching all the way to the coast.
