マリアーノアルピの絶景の山頂・トップ20

The structure is a scientific hut dedicated to speleological research in the nearby Conca delle Carsene, managed by the Alpi Marittime Speleological Group.

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.

Fog, fog and heat... lots of rhododendrons... genepy... and ski lifts...... in winter its reason undoubtedly increases. It's a shame you walk on a dirt road serving the lifts

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.

we reach the Malaberga plain (2,219 m) and the nearby Morgantini speleological hut (2,237 m), curiously belonging to the municipality of Briga Alta. It is in fact one of the rare cases of an “enclave”, that is, an administrative island.

Junction point between the Duca pass and the salt road

very popular refuge as you can get there by car (as long as there is space, then they close the road). It is also the starting point for many excursions.

There is a water source, but be careful, it gives off hot water due to the pipe's exposure to the sun. You would expect to find it nice and fresh up high in the mountains instead 🤣
