How to get there - Portoferraio
Eastern peaks: Cavo - Porto Azzurro
Steps: Cavo
Leaving from Cavo, on the island's northeastern tip, this first stage introduces you to the island's fragrant scrubland, with a succession of ascents and descents. A vast panorama awaits the walker: to the east, the iron mines of Rio nell'Elba and Rio Marina, to the west, Portoferraio. The summit of the day: Cima del Monte, which, despite its altitude of 516 metres, requires a lot of energy before you can enjoy the view of Porto Azzurro, the finishing point. Allow 7 hours' walking for this day.
Napoleon's woods: San Martino - Marina di Campo
Steps: San Martino
Departure from San Martino, from the country residence of the Emperor in exile, from where paths lead 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 the background and a panorama stretching from Capoliveri and Lacona to the southern islands of the Tuscan archipelago. a 6-hour trek is required for this second stage.
