Another beautiful trip to add to your list of spring activities. The route, which starts from the Genova Vesima train station, ends on the summit of Mount Tardia, from which you can enjoy a splendid view of Genoa and Arenzano.

We completed this tour in mid-April.

The route does not present particular technical difficulties, but given the difference in altitude we recommend it for regular walkers.

To shorten the journey, you could start from the Borgonuovo di Crevari car park, but there are very few parking spaces.

There are no water sources along the route.

The route

After conveniently leaving your car in the Vesima station car park, take the street of the same name. The fragrant pittosporum trees will accompany you until you cross Via Luigi Gainotti on the right, a creuza (hilly path) that climbs the hill and passes under the Autostrada dei Fiori, or the A10.

Continue on the asphalt road of via Domenico Delfino, which in spring is filled with wonderful flowers such as irises, wild roses, wisteria and orchids, arriving at the small and panoramic village.

Alternatively, it is possible to reach the village by walking along the old road to Crevari, whose initial staircase is located in the carriageable stretch of Via Luigi Gainotti.

Whatever your decision, you will always arrive at the Borgonuovo car park, from which you have to take a dirt road that ends in Via Superiore dell'Olba. After the last houses you enter a beautiful chestnut forest, which offers shade at every step.

The forest gradually gives way to Mediterranean shrubs which allow, if you look back, to have a splendid view of the Ligurian sea. Furthermore, here the path enters the realm of the Beigua park, where magnificent anemones and "daphne odorosa", symbol of the park, peep out from the meadows.

Among the grassy surface you will also notice the remains of an old Fiat (Panda or Uno), perhaps forgotten forever by someone who was unable to find a free parking space on the crowded "ligurian riviera".

After skirting the slopes of Mount Pennone you reach a shelter, and from there you continue north, aiming for the Tardia pass. From the pass you can decide to climb the two Tardia mountains, Ponente and Levante, which offer fabulous views.  

We chose to go up the Levante one, which rewards you with a magnificent view of the village of Sambuco, known for its confectionery delicacies. We finally returned to Vesima along the same route as the outward journey.
