Pria Burgheisa (Pietra Borghese) is a massive outcrop of mantle peridotites, among the best-known and most significant in the area. It lies on the southwestern edge of the Prato Mollo plateau, on the southern slopes of Mount Aiona, at an altitude of 1,465 m. It is a geosite of considerable petrographic, mineralogical, and regional geological interest, allowing us to study the evolution of a portion of the lithospheric mantle subsequently involved in the Apennine orogeny. The outcrop has a highly irregular shape: 30 m long, 10 m wide at its maximum, and 7–8 m high. The rocks are dark in color, ranging from blackish to brownish; the mass is affected by three main fracture systems, more or less orthogonal to each other, which fragment it into numerous square-shaped blocks. The surface of the blocks has a pitted appearance, as the pyroxene crystals, more resistant to erosion than olivine, remain prominent. At the outcrop, mantle foliation is evident, due to the presence of frequent pyroxenite bands. Source: Liguria Geosite Registry.

beautiful, quiet pass with picnic area

It stretches for several kilometers and offers a lovely stroll along the sea, with views of the harbor, yachts, and the surrounding hills. It is lined with palm trees and numerous benches on both sides. The highlight of the promenade is the pedestrian bridge, which opened in 2013. The beautiful city park is located right next to the promenade.

Beautiful promenade, with palm trees on both sides. There's also a very nice fish restaurant there.

Done in the last few days... no problem with the mountain bike, no serious problems... the road has worsened since last year... nice anyway... other routes from the pass on the left towards the Val del Gromolo... hills on the right... another in Maissana and in the center continuing spectacularly towards Monte Porcile and then descending towards the Passo del Biscia... all beautiful with good preparation... bye

You can pass through by bicycle, but be careful, I passed through on 19/07/25 and you have to be careful, it is safe to pass but be careful!

The Rifugio Casermette del Penna (1,400 m) is located within the Aveto Park, in a beautiful beech forest at the foot of Mount Penna, where the Forestry Corps barracks once stood. Renovated sustainably using local wood, photovoltaic panels, and a biomass boiler, the refuge offers 25 beds in both rooms and dormitories, as well as home-cooked meals prepared using local produce. Today, it is a popular destination for hikers, families, and groups, thanks in part to the large green lawn in front of the building: in summer, it's ideal for relaxing in the sun, picnicking, or letting children play freely. The location is perfect for exploring the trails of Mount Penna, the Lago Penna loop, the Pennino forests, or tackling more technical climbs to the rocky peaks. In winter, it's an ideal base for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
