Hunting and Fishing

A passion rather than a sport, hunting has over fifteen thousand members in Liguria who, at the opening of the hunting season, pour into the seven territorial areas and the two alpine areas present in Liguria.

The scarcity of plains and the particularity of the Ligurian woods create the ideal conditions for a massive spread of wild boars. This is the reason why in Liguria wild boar hunting trips are the most popular, although migratory hunting is also very popular.
