Bocco Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At Passo del Bocco it is possible to stop and have a coffee or even eat at the Devoto refuge. Then you can continue as well as for Varese Ligure as I did, also for Parma.

Tip by

35.0 km

First piece 2/3 km stretches with ramps over 10%. Afterwards it becomes pedalable. After Cassego it picks up again although less than the beginning but longer, about 5km. Once you reach Colla Craiolo the slope is less steep, the last 2 km or so. Then the descent to Bocco is very beautiful.
Not one of the best climbs but worth trying, a bit of training is needed. The surface is not optimistic, going slowly downhill, potholes and poorly maintained asphalt, parts covered by woods and otherwise.

Varese Ligure Town Center

Highlight • Settlement

Varese Ligure is the last major site at the top of Varata.
With its pretty cobbled main square, it offers a beautiful old town ambience as well as restaurants, bars and an ice cream parlor. An optimal place for a rest before the next pass.
From here it is primarily for the racing cyclist in three directions.
The very nice driveway up to the Passo di Centro Croci, which brings us in the direction of Tarotal. The Passo del Biscia whose fantastic descent from the pass towards Chiavari leads to the sea. Or you can follow the Vara Valley downhill and without having to cope with many meters you can reach La Spezia.

Bay of Silence

Highlight • Beach

That of Silence is an enchanting bay that over the centuries has been the chosen land of numerous poets, writers, painters, musicians and scientists. The German composer Richard Wagner, the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen and the Italian scientist Guglielmo Marconi stayed here, among others. The bay is characterized by a sandy beach with crystal clear water and is one of the ten most beautiful beaches in Italy. It houses a small fishing port and is framed by the colorful houses of Sestri Levante, but also by important historic buildings that make the landscape even more characteristic.

Panoramic road between Lavagna and Cavi

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Panoramic road which, remaining on the coast, allows you to avoid the traffic of the coast road between Cavi and Lavagna. The effort is rewarded by the exceptional view.

Beautiful pink church on the Via Aurelia, with frescoes inside. From its square you can enjoy an excellent view of the coast.

June 20, 2025,Gran Fondo Maremonti con il passo del Bocco 🇮🇹

The last day in Liguria was to be spent on the bike 🚴‍♂️ with a long ride.

As with my last road bike tour here, the first climb was through the valley of the Torrente Petronio and even further up to the pilgrimage church at Colle di Velva. Then came the first long descent into the Val di Vara. The …

May 19, 2022,Al Giro d'Italia

Seeing the Giro d'Italia go by is always an emotion, even if it passes in a matter of seconds, after maybe you've waited a couple of hours. But the context of the caravan, the public and above all the hundreds of amateur cyclists is truly spectacular. Not to mention the satisfaction of having reached the pass after three hours of …

Beautiful ride sin only the numerous trucks encountered in the descent of Cento Croci (they are paving the road) ... some thrills too.

July 9, 2023,Passo del Bocco, Cento Croci, Varese Ligure, Velva

The Bocco and Cento Croci roads are now almost completely freshly paved, which is pretty cool. On the other hand, the descent between Cassego and Varese is Russian roulette. There are no holes but chasms cleverly hidden in the half-light of the trees. 😱 Looks like it was bombed!
