ジグナゴの峠・トップ10

A beautiful mountain pass at 1,400 meters. There's a refuge, a small chapel, a monument—in short, everything you'd expect in a place like this. There's even a small clothing store. The only thing that's jarring is the constant noise of a combustion engine, which I assume is a generator for the refuge's operation.

Passo Alpicella is located at 710m above sea level and is part of the 42nd stage of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri. It is located on the watershed ridge between Val di Vara and Valle del Magra, offering open views that on clear days reach the Apuan Alps and the Gulf of Poets.

ALPICELLA PASS WHICH DIVIDES LIGURIA FROM TUSCANY PHOTO OF THE OLD RESTAURANT

Passo 2 santi, known for its winter facilities, but it is also possible to stop in summer, there is a bar and restaurant and a way to stock up on water

So called because it stands on the border between Liguria, Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany, the mouth of the three borders is a crossroads from which many paths branch off.

In the sun or in the rain, the Bracco is not only for motorcyclists .... It is also fun for us cyclists both uphill (moderate slope except for short stretches) and downhill: wide and well asphalted road.

From Pontremoli the road is all uphill, but the real slopes begin in Noce. From there it is about 9 km with a gradient of 9.5%, on a road with a less than perfect surface. It is wonderful to arrive in the locality of Zum Zeri: right on the top it is possible to stop at a refuge.

The landscape on this wild, traffic-free road between Pontremoli and Zeri is typically Apennine. There are few places to stop, but looking at the view is already refreshing in itself.
