How to get there - Portoferraio
The eastern peaks: Cavo - Porto Azzurro
Steps: Cavo
Starting from Cavo, on the northeastern tip of the island, this first stage allows you to get acquainted with the fragrant scrubland of the island and includes a succession of ascents and descents. A vast panorama is offered to the walker: to the east, on the iron mines of Rio nell'Elba and Rio Marina, to the west, on Portoferraio. The summit of the day: Cima del Monte, which, despite its 516 meters of altitude, requires a lot of energy before being able to enjoy the view of Porto Azzurro, the arrival point. Count on 7 hours of walking for this day.
Napoleon's woods: San Martino - Marina di Campo
Steps: San Martino
Departure from San Martino, from the Emperor's country residence in exile, from where trails go through a thick pine forest, to Monte San Martino, the heart of the island. From here continue south to the sandy beach of Marina di Campo, with the sea in background and a panorama stretching from Capoliveri, Braulio to the islands of the southern Tuscan archipelago. 6 hours of trek are expected for this second step.
