カルパージオのおすすめランニングルート

Vasiaはかつて非常に豊かだった美しい村です。村のシンボルである非常に高い鐘楼、向かいにある洗礼堂、そして村にあるいくつかの壮大な別荘からそれがわかります。

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.

Endlessly long trail, very varied

Getting up here is challenging....but very rewarding, for the view and for the satisfaction of having pedaled among the olive trees in perfect solitude, listening to the rhythm of your breathing, with your legs pushing. Priceless emotions!!

the views are breathtaking

I would, however, do the long tour around the top—it was beautiful and deserted. I found the pools themselves rather unspectacular. Make the detour to the small, abandoned chapel with its idyllic bridge!

Stunning viewpoint halfway up the Faudo. Often you can find wild horses in the shaded areas.

The chapel of S.Brigida itself, although very ancient, is beautiful above all for its location. It can be reached from any part (Civezza and the valley of S.Lorenzo, Poggi and Dolcedo or Pietrabruna). From here various mountain bike trails start, all valid, or the dirt road that leads to the top of Monte Faudo begins. In any case, it is a valid point to catch your breath or have a picnic.
