ジェノバの峠・トップ20

Appennino bike tourのルート沿いにあり、Voltaggioから登ると、景色も交通量がないことも、両方とも非常に満足のいく簡単な登りです。

Very nice place and the road to reach it is very panoramic.

Very convenient starting point for climbing Mount Reixa

Nice little ride

Easy climb with asphalt in good condition.

Not a difficult step, at the top you can enjoy an excellent view.

Apennine pass between the municipalities of Mele and Masone, both in the province of Genoa, the Turchino is one of the symbolic climbs of the Milan-Sanremo. Since the 1950s, the climb has been asphalted and is no longer able to create selection among the runners in the race, but it is still the highest point of the Classicissima. At the top of the Turchino, in addition to a memorial dedicated to Costante Girardengo, there is a tunnel redone in the 2000s. The Turchino is also known nationally for a singular idea proposed by a viewer of the program "Portobello", hosted at the end of the 1970s by the very famous Enzo Tortora. It consisted of knocking down the Turchino itself and this portion of the Apennines to open a passage between the sea and the Po Valley, thus presuming to solve the problem of the fog.

It is the connection point between the hiking trails for Piani di Praglia, for San Carlo di Cese, for Monte Penello and Punta Martin, and for Passo del Turchino. It is located along the 22nd stage of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri (Turchino–Praglia).
