ピエトラブルーナのおすすめMTBライド

This isn't the last fountain if you're aiming for the summit of Mount Faudo. In case of emergency, there's another one halfway up the Fratti climb, just after the last house before the Vena Pass: just follow the water pipe and you'll find it. Another one is located just below the summit, between Mount Faudo and Mount Follia, along the descent on the other side.

There's something mystical about Mount Faudo: a trail of ancient stories, far back in time. Today, it's best known for the marathon trail that climbs from Imperia to its summit and for the antennas dotting it; yet for centuries, it was a contested land between the church, neighboring states, and the villages on its slopes. Since the ancient Ligurians, well before the Romans. It shares this burden with Mount Follia and Mount Sette Fontane. The oldest evidence of human settlement in the Dolcedo area is near Mount Follia, a conical peak on the southern slope of Mount Faudo. Traces of metalworking have emerged there, with furnaces and residential structures, dating back to the Iron Age castellari, fortifications placed high up for observation and defense, in visual contact with other castellari in the area. Today, the site is abandoned: one can still walk and imagine the defensive landscape of the ancient Ligurians.

One of the few trails maintained year-round, it's fun and very flowy. It's incredibly easy compared to any other trail in the area, if only because you don't have to walk through brambles.
