ITINERARIO: ORCO FEGLINO – CIAPPO DELLE CONCHE – CIAPPO DEI CECI – ORCO FEGLINO
By car (from Finale Ligure’s train station FF SS): you take the national road Aurelia (Strada Statale 1) in the direction of Savona and you turn left at the first crossroad (200 m after the roundabout). You drive now on the road SP27 (Street Domenico Brunenghi) for about 1,3 Km until you reach Finalborgo. Here you turn right joining the street SP27 towards “Feglino” for about 3,5 Km. At this point you will run into a deviation on your right-hand side for “Orco”. You take this deviation ( it goes uphill) for about 2,5 Km until you are able to see a big stone made building on your right-hand side. You turn right and u can park in the open space next to the building.
Duration: 1 h Length: 4 Km Elevation gain: 100 m
Trail mark: red square
The trail is well signaled and easily walkable.
Ignore the trail in front of the parking area and go on the main unpaved road for about 100 m to find the little deviation, on your right side, that leads to our goal.
The trail starts going uphill and bringing you, after 350 m, to a first small deviation that leads to a little cliff called “Paretina del Monte Cucco”. If you are not interested in it, just follow the main path for other 500 m finally arrive to the first “Ciappo”, the “Ciappo delle Conche”. A “Ciappo” is a large calcareous plate that was used in ancient times to collect water by making handmade little canals into the rock. Some graffiti are present too: the most famous are “il trenino”, “il fiore” and “la nave”. Crossing the “Ciappo”, the trail goes on (South direction) for another km to run in to the second “Ciappo”, the “Ciappo dei Ceci”.
Turn around and follow back your steps to get back to the first “Ciappo”, the “Ciappo delle Conche”.
Trail mark: three red balls
From the “Ciappo delle Conche”, this time, you take the very first deviation on your left.
This new trail will lead you to the starting area. In the last stretch, it rejoins the main trail where you were walking in at the begin of the trip.
(At the end of the itinerary, it is possible to have a big and good meal in the restaurant “Da Anna” in Feglino)
