マイッサーナの峠・トップ20

Passo di Guaitarolaにあるマルコ・パンターニの噴水は、同名の峠にあるサイクリストのための特徴的な噴水で、海岸とPasso del Braccoの間にある同名の山の斜面に位置しています。

BraccoからLevantoへの分岐後..非常に新鮮な水..🤩

beautiful, quiet pass with picnic area

Refreshingly cold fountain water and a small shrine in homage to Marco Pantani; definitely worth a detour

Situated at 956 meters between the Vara and Aveto Valleys, the Bocco Pass is one of the historic passes of the Ligurian Apennines, used since ancient times as a connection between the Tyrrhenian coast and the Po Valley hinterland. Already in Roman times, it was part of a secondary transit network, but it was especially in the Middle Ages and modern times that the pass assumed a central role in local traffic: a route for merchants, shepherds, and pilgrims, it connected Chiavari and the Riviera with Varese Ligure and the Emilian plains. Traces of the ancient paving are still visible today in the surrounding woods. During the Second World War, the area served as a refuge for partisan groups, thanks to its secluded location and dense forest cover. Today, the pass is a destination for cyclists and hikers, immersed in an unspoiled mountain landscape of beech and fir forests and highland meadows, at the gateway to the Aveto Regional Natural Park.

possible excursions both on foot and by bike

89 steps that are worth it if you have a clear view. Old ruins with great impressions

On the Guaitarola pass, on the slopes of the homonymous mountain, a small fountain seems to be dedicated to those who pedal: it recalls the passage from here of the 2006 Giro d'Italia, in a stage between Livorno and Sestri Levante.
