ガレッシオの絶景の山頂・トップ20

Beautiful peak over 2000m from which you can enjoy an enviable panorama that ranges from Corsica to the Alpine peaks of 4000. In late winter/early spring its North East face offers the opportunity for a fun and non-trivial mountaineering climb on snow.

Challenging climb, but rewarded with unprecedented peace.

Ancient abbey founded before the year 1000 from which you can admire a wonderful panorama! Easily reachable from the Toirano yoke or via steep paths coming from Toirano. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbazia_di_San_Pietro_in_Varatella

A tap connected to the pipes. A very precious source of water, since there are no others in the area.

A small village typical of the Ligurian Apennines.

Magnificent view of the Ligurian coast from the 1000m of the Croce.

The summit plateau of Monte MONDOLE is home to two small sacred monuments: + Firstly, a classic cross, such as those often found on mountain peaks. This one is simple in its design, without the body of the crucified Christ; the white frame clearly highlights the darkness of the longitudinal and transverse beams. + Secondly, hikers will find a figure of the Virgin Mary here; the statue of the Mother of God does not stand under the cross beam, as in a classic crucifixion group (on the other side you would then find the favorite disciple John), but rather to one side. Her gaze is also not directed towards the cross, but rather goes down from the mountain into the distance.

Pass on the watershed between the Ligurian and Po Valley sides, a few metres from the source of the Bormida river
