ファッブリカキュローネのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

At 1,473 meters above sea level, the peak of Mount Giarolo is on the so-called Ligurian Apennines but in the province of Alessandria, Piedmont. It is the northernmost point of the Antola chain and divides the Borbera and Curone valleys. On the summit there is a statue of Christ the Redeemer.

This mountain rises to 1667 meters, marking the border between the municipalities of Cabella Ligure and Fabbrica Curone, in the province of Alessandria. A curious detail is that on different maps its name changes: some call it Monte Oserone, others even Monte Coserone, but the correct name is Monte Cosfrone.

Mount Ebro (1700 m above sea level) is the most beautiful and panoramic mountain of the entire Ántola chain, and one of the most beautiful and panoramic of the entire Ligurian Apennines. It is a gigantic pyramid, mostly grassy, that rises on the watershed between Borbera and Curone, a short distance from the important node of Mount Chiappo. The slopes of the mountain are generally wide and slightly sloping, covered by thick woods at lower altitudes, and meadows above 1400-1500 meters. The imposing southern slope is an exception, which towers, very high and steep, over the village of Aie di Cósola.

The Feast of the Redeemer has been celebrated on Mount Giarolo since the beginning of the last century, when the first statue of the Redeemer was erected on August 11, 1901 (replaced with the new one exactly one hundred years later) in order to celebrate the 19th centenary of the birth of Christ. It was inaugurated by the Bishop of Tortona who, for the occasion, promoted a diocesan pilgrimage in which approximately 12,000 faithful participated. Since then, every year on the first Sunday of August tourists and faithful go to the top of the mountain to renew the tradition.

Very panoramic view of the Curone valley and the plain. Access is easy even if the last stretch is quite steep

Beautiful peak, the last stretch of path to get there from the Chiappo side is quite steep but you can get around it by following a hidden path on the right. From the top you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Curone valley and the entire Alpine range if the weather permits

The top of the mountain can be reached starting from Cantalupo Ligure, Borgo Adorno and Albera Ligure (Val Borbera), from Giarolo (Val Museglia) and from Caldirola (Val Curone). The view from the top extends north and west over the plain up to the Alpine range with the profiles of Monviso, Cervino and Rosa. In the other directions the panorama shows the nearest mountains Boglelio, Penice, Lesima, Ebro, Chiappo, Monte Antola, other peaks of the Ligurian Apennines up to the Ligurian Sea, visible on the clearest days.
