Monte Beigua

Nice view of the sea and the Ligurian mountains

A beautiful view of the Ligurian Gulf, the Apennines and the Piedmontese Alps. On clear days you can see Corsica.
Please note that if the shelter is closed there is no free access water. There are no fountains !!

Beautiful view of the sea and Savona-Vado Ligure up to Capo Noli. Ascent from Varazze "technical" and hard: almost 19 km with 1280m d + with the first 6 km (up to Pero Alpicella junction) with moderate gradient (never above 5-6%), then up to Alpicella with slopes at 8% and passage to Alpicella up to 11-12%. After Alpicella the road becomes very narrow and with gradients of over 10% (even sections 13-14%) for about 6 km. The slope then tends to stabilize at 7-8% with sections still at 9-10% up to the summit of Beigua. From Alpicella (with fountain for supply) to the summit all in the woods with rare exposed sections. At the top there are no fountains but there is a bar / restaurant. The descent towards San Pietro d'Olba is just as technical with the aggravating circumstance of a road surface in poor condition for long stretches. Pay close attention.
