ベルフォルテモンフェラート周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Beautiful, pleasant and relaxing excursion even in the fog.

unmissable panorama

The place is very beautiful, there are points where the path is not passable due to bad maintenance, especially at the beginning we turned back and by extending the route we managed to complete it.

Popular legends linked to its origin and age gather around the Rovere di Tiglieto. In fact, it was said that it had been planted by Napoleon's troops during the Italian Campaign. Other sources report that a horseshoe bearing the symbol "N", the imperial monogram, was nailed to the trunk of the plant. It is said that a Dragoon of the French army, passing through the area and forced to change his horse's shoes, wanted to leave a sign of his passage. Some old people in the town say that as children they saw iron sticking out of the trunk. Today, on the surface of the trunk, there is no longer any trace of it, perhaps completely incorporated into the bark.

From here you have a great view of what is around Monte Tobbio

Contrada Olbicella 19, 15074 Molare AL

Wonderful view from up here, with the refuge chapel useful in case of bad weather, or for warming up in case of low temperatures. There are various paths, usually you follow the 401 and from Voltaggio it takes about 3 hours of hiking

To the north of the town, on the borders between Lerma, Silvano and Castelletto d'Orba, remain the ruins of the Torre dell'Albarola. It was part of a defensive sighting system created against Saracen incursions around the year one thousand. His task was to record the signals coming from Mount Colma and, with bonfires lit on the summit, warn the nearby Gazzolo tower (S. Cristoforo), which would send the alarm to the plain. Whoever climbs the tower immediately realizes the reason for that location: from up there the view extends from the Piota valley to the entire Apennine range, and then further down towards the hills up to the Po Valley. Tradition has it that it later served as a bell tower for Santa Maria in Prelio, that is, for the parish church of Silvano d'Orba, as it is located on a hill to the east of it. Towards the end of the 17th century, the Abbey of San Filippo Neri was built near Albarola, from which the name of today's Abbazia farmhouse derives
