Appointment to the Stazione Marittima of Genoa and 10 km of Aurelia to Pegli, then we are on the green valley Varenna. Up to Three Bridges location the urban context still requires special care. The valley runs in the first section is very easily, falsipiani and read through a number of climbs in the old buildings and abandoned mills, unfortunately, some rather unsightly quarries. Fortunately we soon reached a pleasant environment of woods and fields. The road is the location of the trees and pleasantly cool, worthy of note in the summer season now. Entering the town of Ceranesi the climb becomes hard to Lencisa, the pass that leads Polcevera, where you have to stop to admire the beautiful view of the sanctuary of the Guard. Recharge your batteries we faced the wall of 300 m with peak up to 19% of Lencisa Alto, then pulling the breath in the next stretch leading to the junction with the road for a quick and Sestri Ponente descent. Latest effort to reach the destination station is now a section with a constant slope that leads to the final steep paved.
The panorama from the yard of the sanctuary is very wide ranging and the Ligurian Apennines on the two rivers and the ancient port of Genoa where we started. Geo technical enough to drop down and then nose tured to cover the valley floor to the train station of Bolzaneto.
