Imperia to Limone by foot, on the ancient Salt Route

Here is a multi-day itinerary to discover our inland, our history, and the paths that, from the coast, cross the majestic Ligurian Alps on the so-called salt route. Four days immersed in nature, walking along ancient paths, crossing breathtaking and, to many, unknown landscapes.
