The trail follows its route and in places you can still see the stone channels. That is why it is so regular and flat: it is the road of the water.<\/p>\n<h2>What you see along the trail<\/h2>\n<p>The first part runs between olive groves, dry-stone walls and pergolas; further on, after the motorway viaduct, the vegetation becomes wilder, with reeds, mimosa, broom, palms and succulents. You come across a small waterfall, ruined olive presses and a few stream crossings. Charles Garnier called it one of the most thrilling walks in Bordighera, and Monet was fascinated by it too.<\/p>\n<p>The painter depicted the Sasso valley in 1884: &#8220;La Vall\u00e9e de Sasso, effet de soleil&#8221; is in the Mus\u00e9e Marmottan in Paris.
