The Mare e Monti International March is a non-competitive free-pace march, which takes place in Arenzano. Every year, on the second weekend of September, thousands of people passionate about walking meet on the paths of the March to experience the thrill of walking together between sky, mountains and sea on the paths that wind from the coast to the Beigua Park. .
The mountain tracks, of different lengths to meet all needs (10 - 15 - 20 km) start from the coast to get to the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri, with incredible views of the sea and the Alps, in the place where it is minimum distance between the Ligurian Apennines and the coast.
For those who do not like large differences in height, but want to participate and live this experience, they will find a valid alternative in the paths of the "Riviera del Beigua" which, from the town and along the "Fabrizio De Andre 'promenade, run along the sea between cliffs and Mediterranean scrub. and arrive at the centers of Cogoleto and Varazze.
During these days, the town also comes alive with collateral initiatives to the event that increase joy and foster friendship between participants from the most diverse countries, under the slogan "Join us in walking!".
