Trail di Lerici

Track in which many of Lerici's trails are grouped.

The start is in a convenient parking lot near the Sarzana highway exit, from here follow the signs to move on asphalt to Lerici along the provincial road.

The route starts from the traffic circle just before the town of Lerici where you take the second exit towards Montemarcello, after a kilometer or so you take an uphill left towards Rocchetta, the road climbs gently and after passing several hairpin bends you reach a hairpin bend to the right where you have to continue straight on in Redarca, the road then becomes cemented. After a few hundred meters, the tornatini path starts on the left, leading uphill towards Monte Branzi. At the end of the trail take the dirt road to the left and at the top enter the woods for a short sincgle track that brings us back to the dirt road that we follow, with the possibility of making cuts in the hairpin bends.

We come out at a hairpin bend on asphalt and take a left uphill, at the first fork we go right, at the second fork we take the dirt track that starts in front of no, which after a hundred meters forks and we follow to the left.

Now we embark on the path to the right that takes us around under the fort, take a minute and enjoy the view of the Gulf of Spice.

After a short downhill section we take a right and return to dirt road, after a hundred meters the first trail of the day, Il Cinghiale, starts, which is perfectly marked thanks to the work of the guys in Lerici. At the fork before Zanego we will take a left to continue the descent to Ameglia, where, coming out on the asphalt, we will start climbing again to the right. We continue uphill until we see signs on the left for the Scratch, begin the descent and be careful to take the fork on the right.

Back on asphalt we take a left and return to Ameglia on asphalt, resuming the climb we have already faced.

We face the climb up to the top, past the cemetery that remains on the left we will find a single track on the right, which will resurface on asphalt, where we will go right.

At this point the track cuts hairpin bends in asphalt following an uphill path with a rocky but stable bottom, you evaluate what you prefer. Definitely don't miss the viewpoint on the left, the view is worth it.

Leaving the viewpoint take the path ahead, on the asphalt take a right and then immediately left uphill, follow the road to the top, to the botanical garden.

Behind the building a very technical path begins, you will come out on another path where you will follow to the left, finally reaching Zanego on the asphalt where you will take a right.

After the road has started to climb again leave the main one to go right uphill, always keeping left on asphalt which then becomes dirt you will return to the start of the PS Cinghiale, stay on dirt and take a left retracing the track in the opposite direction. Under the fort go straight and at the next fork turn left.

Crossing the road you will start a fun single track in the woods, once you finish and put your wheels on the asphalt go right, in the right hairpin bend go straight and after a while on the left you will find the Stamperia trail. If you keep to the right in the trail you will come near an abandoned ruin, and then come out at the base of the uphill single track of the switchbacks. Take it again and climb back up to Monte Branzi, where instead of turning right you will go left and start the New Guercio trail, always keeping right you will return to the provincial road. If you still have legs take the provincial road to the left and then just before the traffic circle to the right uphill, always follow the main road until the junction to Canarbino/Montemarcello, the dirt ramps will engage you. Be careful on the final falsopiano to take an immediate right onto the path that comes out into a dirt hairpin bend, where you take a left downhill and then a right. After a short downhill asphalt transfer take the dirt path to the left, still downhill.

Here begins the last trail of the day, the Colonel, which will take you back toward the village. At the end of the trail take a right into the lane, you will find yourself in Pugliola.

Go down to the left and at the first traffic circle turn left again. At the second traffic circle take a right onto the provincial road and you will begin the return to Romito Magra first and then Sarzana.
