A great hike to get there, not too hard but definitely bring water with you if you’re going in warm/hot weather. The fort is free to visit and there are views of the valley from all sides. Not accessible for wheelchair/any mobility equipment.
It’s really nice walk up through the old town to the Forte, once up there you have fantastik view.
There is no fee to enter, the guides there are very friendly and knowledgable.
The hike up is not so bad - and it’s free entry so its worth the trip. Pretty nice view from the top. The hostess is also really friendly and will provide some helpful information about the place.
Nice views, free entry with moderately difficult hike. Confirm hours first.
Nice walk up to the castle with great view over Finalborgo, Finale Ligure and the see. Romantic during the night even though the past has no public lighting.
First of all it's for free and it takes only a few minutes hiking up the hill from Finalborgo. There aren't too many signs explaining the forte, but it had been very nicely renovated and you can roam around it freely. Last but not least you can get s good view onto the borgo and the surrounding area from up there.
A must see location, very well preserved Castle with an amaising view of the famous Borgo
Says open on google and on website. Local info says open. Trek up and it’s very closed
Maybe it’s the window of Finalborgo
