Nature, Circular Trail and GTL Stage

This landscape can be explored on trekking, e-bike and themed walking trails. An approximately 4 km circular trail, “Alla Ricerca del Merluzzo”, runs around Albaretto and is accessible to everyone. Its approximate length makes the circular trail suitable for planning as a standalone day trip.
