The west

The West is only few kilometres far from Genoa, Milan and Turin. You can reach it easily all year long. Sunny weather, well equipped sandy beaches, unpolluted nature, history and tradition of the valleys lying in the immediate inland areas … this part of the Province of Genoa is an ideal destination for a trip painted with deep blue-green.

A paradise to be enjoyed all year round, the right place for an unforgettable holiday.
It is only a few kilometres from Genoa and not too far from Milan (150 km) and Turin (200 km).
Excellent transport connections (by rail, road or air) make the area even more accessible.
Some of the wonders the West offers are the sun, the wide sandy and well-equipped beaches, very good sporting facilities such as the golf courses in Arenzano and Cogoleto, the bicycle track between Arenzano, Cogoleto and Varazze, whale spotting, the underwater gym, diving in the seabed where the sunken Haven lies.

Get ready to be submerged in art, culture and history, allow yourself to be seduced by museums, historical hamlets, spiritual places and opulent noble villas set in plush and lavish parks. Another worth noting aspect is the gastronomic one: the basil of Prà, the “farinata” of Pegli and the “focaccini” of Voltri. The workshop ancient traditions are to be mentioned: they are still being kept alive by the relatively unknown but of high calibre silversmiths in Campo Ligure who remind how this part of Liguria is a land of expert craftsmen. Last but not least, the uncontaminated nature in the “Genovesato” valleys and the Natural Regional Beigua Park: a world of natural beauty to be discovered by walking on the trails.
