inside the regional natural park of the Aveto, stands the Aiona mountain (top SOUTH and NORTH), characterized by an impressive bare plateau, where to lord it is a cluster of rocks among the most ancient of Italy of which the particularity is that they attract lightning and mislead the magnetic NORD. Peculiarities that together with the curious form have fed numerous popular legends including the one that they were remains of meteorite. In reality the origin of these rocks rich in magnetite is to be found in the depths of the Ligurian ocean, when in the Jurassic, the sub-continental mantle rose up emerging from the seabed

excursion done in winter, very beautiful and panoramic, with a lot of snow, good equipment is needed, gaiters and crampons, and a good shell for the strong winds on the ridge.
