hike Portofino to San Fruttuoso

Hike to an abbey

Combining this magnificent two hour hike from Portofino to San Fruttuoso with a delicious, well-deserved lunch ( See EAT) at the end, is a favorite Roaming Stones way to spend the morning. This hike starts off with a challenging, quite steep 25 min vertical hike (including hundreds of steps) out of Portofino, but once you’re up, the walk levels off through terraces and pine forrests with stunning views of the Ligurian coast. The reward is a charming lunch in San Fruttuoso. Be aware that the only way back to Portofino is by boat or by foot.
