Liguria is a 350-kilometer-long “climate balcony”: The Apennines block the north winds, and the sea stores the heat—which is why people spend the winter on the Western Riviera Around Sanremo and Imperia, palm trees, mimosas, and citrus trees thrive in January temperatures ranging from 10 to 13 degrees, while just a few kilometers inland there is snow. In summer, the coastal area usually stays at a pleasant 27 to 30 degrees thanks to the sea breeze. The downside: In Autumn Massive rain cells can form over the warm sea—Genoa and the Cinque Terre experience heavy rainfall events of over 100 mm in just a few hours.

April through June and September through October are ideal for hiking in the Cinque Terre and along the Alta Via trail—in midsummer, the sun-baked coastal paths get hot and crowded. The swimming season runs from June through September, and the Riviera di Ponente attracts visitors even in winter with its mild, sunny days.
