Colle Gruzze (Quattro Strade) - Canegreca - Foce di Vaggi

Trail 631 is a historically important ridge and mid-slope route connecting the upper Val di Vara with the coastal heights behind Levanto and Framura. The itinerary starts from Colle Gruzze, also known as Quattro Strade, in the municipality of Carrodano: an important wooded pass. The route develops mainly along forest roads, broad cart tracks and paths immersed in dense woodland where maritime pines, chestnut groves and typical Mediterranean scrub alternate. It continues across the hilly area above the rural locality of Canegreca, proceeding at altitude with a sequence of alternating climbs and descents. The hike ends at approximately 595 metres above sea level at Foce di Vaggi, also known as Pian dei Vaggi, a major geographical crossroads on the boundary with the municipality of Levanto. From here it is possible to join the trails towards Monte Guaitarola or descend towards the coast.

• Wear hiking shoes with a non-slip lugged sole: the unpaved forest surface may include muddy or damp sections and areas covered by thick slippery leaves, especially during rainy seasons.
• Official mapping-management notice: according to the updated official register of the Liguria Region, this route is marked with the note: "Suspended from the map until adequate trail markers are installed". As this is a secondary ridge section, the horizontal trail markers in the field, including the traditional red-and-white signs, may be limited or faded. The use of a GPS device with offline maps, such as OpenStreetMap, is therefore strongly recommended to avoid losing the route at woodland junctions.
