ムリアルドの峠・トップ8

Colle del Melogno (1028 m), a strategic pass between Liguria and Piedmont in the province of Savona, is known for its 19th-century fortifications (Forte Centrale, Tortagna, Settepani) built by the Royal Army (1883-1895) to defend the Tyrrhenian-Po Valley access. Historically, it was the scene of Napoleonic battles (1795) and partisan resistance.

There are many wind turbines in these areas.

Very very busy with vans with MTB trailers to the point of being avoidable, personally I wouldn't do it again

The climb to Colle del Melogno from Finale is one of the classics that lead from the Ligurian coast towards the hinterland. It measures about 15 kilometers, for a difference in altitude of 1000 meters. The slope is constant and pedalable, and the route winds first with glimpses of the sea, and then enters the suggestive Faggeta del Melogno.

Shuttles will go here if needed. Simply book a DIN ticket and say you'd like to go to the Forte.

Better to arrive in the morning, with cool temperatures.

Here is the old NATO base (Communications).
