Located on the Mediterranean coast, Finale Ligure is not only famous for its extensive beaches, seafood and sun, but also for rock climbing routes (4000+) on the many nearby crags (limestone). Grades from 5C upwards. Between climbs you can take a dip in the transparent med waters or go mountain biking on the many trails.
