Pratorotondo Nature Path (red numbers)

• Departure: loc. Pratorotondo (Cogoleto)
• Duration: 4 hour/s
• Length: 9.7 km
• Involved Municipalities: Cogoleto
• Lap no.1 of The Via GeoAlpina

The itinerary departs from the locality of Pratorotondo (Cogoleto) by the Park's Information Point (seasonal opening) near the mountain hut of the same name (1,108 meters). Coordinates: (44°25'41.95"N -  8°35'12.74"E). The path starts with a large dirt road which can be walked also with the wheelchairs up to the Riparo di Casa Miniera, coinciding with a stretch of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri (AVML) with path markers AV. Along the steep and rugged Tyrrhenian slope we will mainly observe the grey-green rock outcrops which consist of serpentines and serpentine-schists.
By the Stop No. 1, if you carefully look at the highest rock summits of Mount Beigua, you will notice a particular element: they do not lie near the main watershed where we walk, but on the secondary ridges facing south (M. Sciguelo, M. Rama, M. Argentea)
