ポントレモリの峠・トップ20

Mountain pass located at 1,200 m above sea level which allows you to set off on various excursions both on foot and by mountain bike

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.

Both sides have beautiful climbs, the only flaw is that in the heat there are no fountains and it's full of horseflies that sting like crazy.

Apennine pass separating the slopes of Berceto from Bosco di Corniglio. Also called Sillara, it's a route along the Appennino Bike Tour.

Pass between the provinces of Massa and Parma

Silara Pass 1200s.l.m., many paths start from here

The Passo della Cisa is a mountain pass in Italy that marks the separation between the Ligurian and Tuscan Apennines. For the Via Francigena, there is now a descent to Pontremoli of 18 km. We descend 799 meters in altitude. The average descent percentage is therefore 4.4%. If you ride in the other direction, you have conquered this climb.

The church is located at the top of a steep staircase just after the Passo della Cisa. The church was built between 1919 and 1922 by Eugenia and Flavio Fasce, and designed by the famous architect Lamberto Cusani. The church was consecrated on August 16, 1921. However, the first mass was already celebrated in September 1920, when the construction work was almost completed. The church has a single nave with an attached bell tower. In 1926 the bell tower was demolished to build a deambulatory around the building, which was connected to the nave through four openings. The church thus took its current shape, and the following year the bell tower was also rebuilt, now separate from the church. The church was declared a Marian shrine in 1930 and has since attracted hundreds of pilgrims from Tuscany, Emilia and Liguria every year on August 29.
