Fantastic views. The trip is worth it

You can walk, drive or catch the cable car (my preference) to the top of the hill. Take in the scenery and take a stroll through and around the site. Allow up to 1 hour if you don’t stop for food or go hiking.

Typical church with stunning views

After a while all churches begin to look the same. The architecture and icons are are still very beautiful but the mountain top view is what sets this one apart. A nice walk around the area is an added bonus.

As near as you can get to heaven. Take the cable car and enjoy the views to Portofino. Walk to the end of the path and have lunch.

Very nice church dominating the mountain top.

We took the cable car up to Montallegro and the views were excellent. The Sancturario di Montallegro is a very imposing church that dominates the mountain top. The facade is tremendous and the interior is decorated extensively. The views of the harbor and town from...More

Beautiful church in a remote location

We would recommend you visit this church, from Rapallo on the Funivia. A short walk up the path and steps to find this retreat. Beautiful ornate, decorate frescos and stunning vistas of the surrounding mountains/villages.
