The Route
From Camogli, the trail climbs through olive trees and Mediterranean vegetation up to Pietre Strette, a panoramic pass on the ridge of the promontory, before descending towards San Fruttuoso. It is the most frequented trail to reach the abbey on foot, a more direct alternative compared to the complete crossing from Portofino.
Before You Go
- Bring hiking shoes and water: the uphill section towards Pietre Strette has no refreshment points.
- Check the ferry schedules if you plan to return by sea from San Fruttuoso.
- Respect the Portofino Marine Protected Area once you arrive at the bay.
