レルマの峠・トップ5

At the Dagliola pass there are still 50 minutes left to reach the summit of Mount Tobbio, but it's worth it.

It is located at an altitude of 559 meters above sea level. Starting point for excursions towards Mount Tobbio

Apennine pass between the municipalities of Mele and Masone, both in the province of Genoa, the Turchino is one of the symbolic climbs of the Milan-Sanremo. Since the 1950s, the climb has been asphalted and is no longer able to create selection among the runners in the race, but it is still the highest point of the Classicissima. At the top of the Turchino, in addition to a memorial dedicated to Costante Girardengo, there is a tunnel redone in the 2000s. The Turchino is also known nationally for a singular idea proposed by a viewer of the program "Portobello", hosted at the end of the 1970s by the very famous Enzo Tortora. It consisted of knocking down the Turchino itself and this portion of the Apennines to open a passage between the sea and the Po Valley, thus presuming to solve the problem of the fog.

The top of the mound (532m) and the entrance to the gallery that leads to the Fado, Mele and then Genova Voltri. Iconic place of the Milan-Sanremo and great emotion for me to have walked in the footsteps of the great champions.

After the ascent comes the descent. Pretty fast and sinuous and in a moment you're back in Masone.

Less than a km from Masone always along the SP456 towards the sea. Here the human settlements are becoming more and more rare. The ascent to the Pass gradually becomes steeper but without ever exaggerating. Beautiful and relatively safe places to pedal peacefully.

To characterize the Passo del Turchino from the Piedmontese side is certainly its length: over 25Km! The slopes, on the other hand, are never demanding.

The Turchino pass is an Apennine pass located between the municipality of Masone and the municipality of Mele.
