The Cycling Path into the Riviera dei Fiori Coastal Park

The pedestrian - cycling path of the Riviera dei Fiori’s  Coastal Park runs on 24 km of the old railway line that served the Ligurian Riviera since 1872 to 2001.
This railway line, portrayed in many books and movies thanks to the beauty of the places it crosses, is a true piece of history, that witnessed the development and changes of the Riviera dei Fiori.

In fact, until the early ‘900, it was a luxury line, whose passenger were Italian, British, German and Russian members of the high society who came to spend the holidays in Riviera.
Then, during the Second World War,  the line became military and later in the years of the “Economic  Boom"  this railroad lead to the sea thousands of Italian tourists, in the early beginnings of mass tourism in a country in rapid growth.

Finally, in the last years of life of the railroad, the tourist usage was reached and maybe overtaken by the commuting of employees and students.

Since 2004, the company Area24 brought to life this lovely path, which attracted artists and intellectuals from all over Europe, enhancing the full potential and giving back to the community a space on a human scale in the heart of the Riviera designed and built to provide comfort, well-being and fun.
