Hiking

As a nature lover, you have to follow the tempting view through the rock window high up on the summit of Monte Forato without resistance. The ascent is steep, almost impassable. But beautiful, varied with everything that the landscape has to offer.
When it arrives, the gate refuses to be photographed with a conventional lens. Too powerful its frame. Grand but the view through it. The villages on the slope are lined up along the Vazza valley down to the sea, whose refreshing blue lures back down into the valley up here.
