It’s time again for the most challenging event of the year: are you all ready and imbued with Olympic spirit? As you may have guessed, this weekend’s goal is La Spezia, as the “natural swimming pool” event unfolds in Portovenere.

For the uninitiated, the Portovenere strait will be off limits to boats. From 3pm till 6pm, boats won’t be allowed to cross it, thus making it feasible to swim from Portovenere to Palmaria (that’s about 250mt)

Plan then is to hike along our favourite trail in Liguria, the so called Infinite Trail. The “infinite” trail probably owes its name to the fact that the alignment of Mt Muzzerone, Portovenere and the islands of Palmaria and Tino make the trail appear much longer (almost infinite) than it actually is.

We’ll first try to reach the town of Campiglia by treading the Coregna – Campiglia path. The walk takes around 1,5/2 hours and is described well on: Protected content
