The following notes refer to both the hiking and the mountain bike guide and trails

July 2022. The stretch of Alta Via dei Monti Liguri between the south-east side of the Cima della Biscia, Bric Sportiole and Sella Burain (Section 07 of the "on foot guide and Section 03) of the mountain bike guide) is temporarily forbidden to transit due to works in progress for the construction of a wind farm.

During the closing period, the alternative route along the municipal road "Stella Montenotte and Stella Bonomo" can be used.

The GES (Gruppo Escursionisti Savonesi) volunteers, whom we thank, will in the next few days report the alternative route with the AV signpost, indications at the beginning and end of the stretch and information signs.

June 2022. Attention: both the hiking trail (Section 7 of the guide) and the mountain bike track (Section 3 of the guide) have undergone a change of route near Cascina Miera, a few kilometers after Ferrania. The new track of the two routes now passes on asphalt on the SP12 downstream of Cascina Miera up to the position of the so-called “big tree” position 44.38398 N 8.39708 E.

For better details please call Marco, keeper of  Cascina Miera phone +39. 338. 69 31 783 or write to ospitalita.altavia@gmail.com.

June 2022. The largest majority of the accommodation facilities along the AV are family runned: when booking please make sure if you can pay by debit or credit card.

April 2022. The mtb track still has a considerable amount of snow on the slopes of Mount Grai (dirt road upstream of Colla Melosa) and in the La Terza Refuge area.  At the moment it is advisable to take the lower variant that transits from Triora and Realdo.

October 2021. Heavy atmospheric events hit the hinterland of Savona. Some parts of the Alta Via (on foot and mountain bike trails) may be inaccessible or difficult to travel. At the moment we have no better details.

July 2021. Due to wind turbine installation works, the track of Section 07 of the hiking route and of Section 03 of the mountain bike trail has undergone the following variant, at the moment it is not known if temporary or definitive: when you reach the sharp bend on asphalt downstream of Cascina Miera (position 44.38470N 8.38456E), if you do not plan to stop at this accommodation, continue on asphalt for about one km on the SP12 until you reach the GPX track again just before the Grande Faggio (huge beech tree). For further information, please contact Marco - Cascina Miera +39. 338. 693 17 83.

March 2021. The accommodation facilities situation along the way is moving towards normalization. Yet, due to the ongoing health emergency, some of them may have however reduced the availability of beds and / or require the mandatory use of a sleeping bag or personal sleeping bag. It is strongly recommended that you inquire directly with the owners / managers of the facilities and BOOK AT LEAST ONE DAY IN ADVANCE.

July 2020. With particular reference to large groups of hikers or bikers, it should be noted that the accommodation facilities on the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri sometimes consist of small hotels, mountain huts, farmhouses, Bed & Breakfasts and / or other types of  accommodation. Some of these may offer beds in shared dormitories and shared facilities. We suggest that you always ask the owner or keeper of the facility for details.
