Taking a break in Liguria
The region of Liguria offers a variety of leisure activities: the
panoramic mountain ridges, that divide Liguria from France, invite
you to beautiful excursions, walks or mountain-bike tours. You can
enjoy bathing in still mountain lakes or in the Mediterranean,
walking along Roman trade roads or admiring the abundance of
wildlife species, since Liguria is one of the regions in Europe with
a wider variety of flora and fauna.
The torrents in the Ligurian hinterland are a very popular
destination for canyoning fans. In this sport you move downwards along
the stream using climbing ropes and a diving-suit.
Along with many sports activities in nature, there is also the
possibility to let yourself be pampered in the Roman thermal baths
in the nearby town of Pigna. Further offerings in the field of
wellness & beauty are being planned |
The Ligurian Maritime
Alps belong to those preferred alternative tourism regions, that
balance the growing demand with “low impact” requirements.
“Low impact” means in this case environmentally sustainable,
socially sustainable, preserving the cultural and regional
peculiarities – in conclusion, not madly exploiting our
environment.
The creation of infrastructures, such as hotel towns and holiday
resorts (mostly ordered and financed by investors of far-off cities)
that destroy the character of the landscape, as has happened in many
other areas of Europe, must absolutely be avoided in the Ligurian
Maritime Alps. This approach is evidently the easiest and most
profitable, but actually it is only a fostering of future ruin for
the investments, since future environmentally aware tourists will
turn away from these areas.
