アクセスできず、植生のためフェンスからはあまり見えないのが残念です

アルプ・リグレの美しい頂上。澄んだ日には、アルベンガとリグーリア海が見えます。

It is not the Sanctuary of San Pietrino but that of San Pietro

The historic center of Toirano is a labyrinth of cobbled alleys and stone stairways winding between stone houses. Its medieval origins are evident in its structure and materials. Strolling through its narrow streets, you can admire arches, doorways, and remains of the ancient walls surrounding the village. The heart of the town is the Church of San Martino di Tours, which dates back to the 13th century, although it has been remodeled over time. Another attraction is the Clock Tower, once part of the village's defense system.

A short walk from the center of Bardineto, an inland village in the Bormida Valley known for its excellent potatoes and porcini mushrooms, stands a cluster of four or five mushroom-shaped wooden houses, reminiscent of those in the famous cartoon by French cartoonist Peyo. In reality, they are the remains of a unique project dating back to the 1960s by Mario de Bernardi, a passionate enthusiast of construction and mushrooms, a local specialty. The small houses, built among centuries-old chestnut, beech, and birch trees, were not designed to be dedicated to the mythical blue inhabitants, but rather to mushrooms, whose appearance they resemble. The village houses were originally private homes and were rented out for a time as vacation rentals, so they are equipped with furniture and accessories such as a barbecue, oven, and firewood storage room.

A beautiful spot. Be sure to climb a few more meters, and the view over the coast will open up. The small peak above the picnic area is also definitely worth climbing on clear days. It's a quarter of an hour to the top (just follow one of the trails), and you'll have a view all the way to the Alps.
