Hiking in Tanaro Valley

The Tanaro valley occupies the entire water catchment area of the Tanaro river flowing from Ceva to Ponte di Nava. It borders the province of Savona to the east, the Mongia and Casotto valleys to the west and the Corsaglia, Ellero and Pesio valleys to the south-west, culminating with Punta Marguareis (2651 m).
