Day trips etc.:
Hanbury Garden near Ventimiglia. Artisans village of Bussan Vecchia (take the right exit between Arma di Taggia and Bussana). Palms and botanic gardens as well as the old town of Sanremo. Triora with its panoramic location and historical buildings, and the Ethnographic Museum. A drive over the middle or upper coastal road between Mento and Nizza. Visit Monaco for a day. The historical locations in the Argentina Valley are embedded into the unique landscape. Near Molini di Triora, the river has created impressive rock formations (from Molini di Triora in the direction of Colla Langa, park the cark near the first sharp left bend, a half an hour walk on the flat walkway, then turn right down into the canyon). The many passes and trails are very interesting and full of variety and you could head for weeks in all directions without getting to know all of the trails.
Bathing:
The free communal beach in Arma di Taggia (15 miles) is very flat and therefore is recommended for children. You can swim there from the middle or end of May until the beginning of October. At the children’s play area in Molini di Triora the river has been blocked off to create a bathing area (clean mountain water). The courageous among us can also swim in Canyon (see day trips above).
Hiking and mountain biking:
You can go hiking directly from the holiday home, to Andagna through forest landscape, to Triora through rich terraced landscape (300 m) and towards Corte (Path through the forest, along the river and then through the terraced landscape). Monte Ceppo (1627m) is reachable from Molini di Triora via the well constructed Colla Langan pass and offers a great view over the sea and the Alps by way of a gentle climb (approx. 1 hour). The highest mountain in Liguria, Monte Saccarello (2200m) begins from Vedeggia, and is only really for experienced climbers (approx. 3 hours). A Dutch, German speaking family in Montalto (just over 1 and a half miles to Badalucco) offer guided walking tours. We will be glad to put you in contact with them. In the surrounding area around Molini di Triora you can find a number of non paved private trails which are closed to the general public. These trails are ideal for mountain biking.
