Useful info:
The route is to be avoided in the summer season, both for the heat and for the massive influx of tourists to Camogli and Portofino.
Be careful and dress for trekking: accidents happen too often because tourists walk these paths in flip-flops or moccasins!

Curiosity:
Speaking of the park's trail network, you will notice that the tarry is different from that which is usually encountered when trekking around Italy.
All this is due to the initiative of the park authority aimed at facilitating the use of this corner of paradise by everyone, because the choice of high-contrast colors in maps and signs helps color blind people.

Path
The ideal period to take this excursion is during the first months of the year, where the late winter days, mitigated by the Ligurian climate, restore the scent of mimosas and the awakening of primroses.
The crossing starts from the parking lot of the seaside village of Camogli, unmistakable for the basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, a few steps from the sea (and for the noisy festival of mixed fried food cooked in May in a giant pan).

We took the small avenue at the end of the parking lot where the Carabinieri command is located, which continues along the Gentile stream, inhabited by some mallards. The path makes its way between sparse houses and fields of olive trees, and ends at the churchyard of San Rocco, a small hamlet with a view of the sea and the gulf. Here you can try the typical Ligurian breakfast based on focaccia, perhaps buying it from the historic bakery nearby.

Subsequently, instead of following the seaside path that reaches Punta Chiappa and the batteries of the Second World War, you take the mule track following the signs towards "Portofino Vetta", which once you leave the town turns into a path that always remains in the shade, where the dense vegetation forms a humid environment.

Once we arrived at the intersection with the path that arrives from the Kulm hotel (another possible parking and departure point), we quickly reached "Pietre Strette", an important equipped place in the park and crossroads of many paths, so called for the rock formations covered with moss that tend to shrink forming narrow passages.

Pietre Strette is one of the most popular places to reach the abbey of San Fruttuoso, because the path taken from here does not present difficulties.

On this day we followed the path towards Bocche and the Gassetta mill (an old mill restored and converted into a bar-restaurant), where the road becomes wider and becomes a cycle path that reaches the gentle slopes above Portofino.

Arriving in Località Olmi, the typical Apennine forest becomes more sparse and gives way to the Mediterranean scrub, while the cycle path returns to a mule track that borders on the walls of country villas with an enviable position, with terraced land cultivated with citrus and olive trees.

The intense blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the green of the maritime pines and the blue of the sky have given us a sense of peace that is difficult to write in words.

In this almost bucolic atmosphere we finally reached Portofino; a characteristic village for its surprising bay and its houses lined up on the pier, which, while observed from the church of San Giorgio and from the Brown castle, seem to form a colorful semicircle that is reflected in the blue.

To return to Camogli avoiding another 600mt. in altitude it is possible to take the boat, departing from both San Fruttuoso and Portofino.
