Here we have a route from Rapallo up to the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Montallegro, a pilgrimage church at about 612 metres above sea level, built from 1557. The climb on steep paths is mostly shaded, which helps in summer. Water is available at the start and the top, and the cable car from Rapallo is an easier option. At the summit, Bar Ivano, in the cable car station, serves snacks and drinks. Rapallo's Castello sul Mare, a 16th-century fortress on the Tigullio Gulf waterfront, is the town's main landmark.
