バダルッコのおすすめランニングルート

One of the longest tunnels on the cycle path

The runway has been going all the way to Imperia for over a year now!!!

Beautiful in the evening too / stunning sunset.

Highly recommended

There's something mystical about Mount Faudo: a trail of ancient stories, far back in time. Today, it's best known for the marathon trail that climbs from Imperia to its summit and for the antennas dotting it; yet for centuries, it was a contested land between the church, neighboring states, and the villages on its slopes. Since the ancient Ligurians, well before the Romans. It shares this burden with Mount Follia and Mount Sette Fontane. The oldest evidence of human settlement in the Dolcedo area is near Mount Follia, a conical peak on the southern slope of Mount Faudo. Traces of metalworking have emerged there, with furnaces and residential structures, dating back to the Iron Age castellari, fortifications placed high up for observation and defense, in visual contact with other castellari in the area. Today, the site is abandoned: one can still walk and imagine the defensive landscape of the ancient Ligurians.

Tunnel of the old railway line, along which the cycle path La Pista ciclabile del Ponente ligure now runs.

Upon reaching the summit of Monte Follia, hikers will find a beautiful summit cross crowning the mountain. These are often massive wooden crosses, but this one was designed quite differently. It is made of iron or steel, and decorative ornaments are incorporated between the outlines of the longitudinal and transverse beams that define the cross shape, as well as at the four outer corners of the crossing point.

The summit cross that crowns Monte FAUDO loses its effect as the crowning glory of the mountain due to its immediate surroundings: This mountain peak is obviously also a radio station, because antenna masts in the immediate vicinity tower significantly above the summit cross and unfortunately deprive this small sacred monument of its visual impact.
