Experience Butterfly watching guided by the ornithologist Enrico Carta.
A fast growing activity that allows more and more lovers to appreciate the beauty and great variety of daytime butterflies: probably the most suggestive and interesting order of insects.
Approach this fascinating world in a respectful and responsible way, adding value to every possible excursion in natural areas. Alassio has a first hillside that is hardly known but extremely interesting from a naturalistic point of view.
The itinerary runs along the ridge between Mt. Pisciavino (Vegliasco peak) and Mt. Bignone on the Alta Via Baia del Sole (AVBS), which connects Albenga to Laigueglia, departure from Vegliasco. The trail begins along the dirt road towards the aerials located on the peak of the mountain and then halfway up the hillside and in slight slope through the dense Mediterranean bush until reaching the crossing between Mount Castellaro and Pisciavino. From here, taking the ridge route, continue towards Albenga reaching the Mount Bignone crossing, where you leave the AVBS to reach the village of Cavia and the Vegliasco - Cavia panoramic road where the hike ends.
NB: if participants are interested and willing, the itinerary could vary in length and difficulty by returning to Alassio on foot without the shuttle transfer.
