NATO's "Scatter" base worked as a radio base from 1962 to 1992, year in which it was abandoned due to the end of the Cold War. Twenty American soldiers lived here and people still rumor about trucks disappearing into stone openings, helicopters hovering above the base at night, hidden missile platforms and secret tunnels within the mountain. After several ideas for a potential recovery, none of which have ever seen the light, it serves as the main starting point of the mountain bike trails of Finale Ligure, as well as the playground of several local street artists, who spray paint their masterpieces onto its crumbling walls.

In use during the Cold War, NATO's "Scatter" base was a radio base from 1962 to 1992, when it was abandoned. About twenty American soldiers lived here and around it hover legends that tell of trucks disappearing into openings in the rock, helicopters flying over the base at night, hidden missile platforms and secret tunnels inside the mountain. After several ideas for a potential recovery, none of which have been implemented, it represents the main starting point of the mountain bike trails of Finale Ligure, as well as the playground of several local street artists, who perform artistic virtuosity on its walls crumbling.

I can only warmly recommend it. Was there for two weeks in June '18. Sensational, one trail after the other. P.S. Flixbus offers a bus route from Stuttgart to Finale Ligure for little money. Incl. Bike transport. Departure at 9 p.m., arrival at 10 a.m.
