라스페치아‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

The small sacred monument we encounter on Monte Gottero is perhaps the perfect place for a brief moment of reflection. A few years ago, Christiane Völkel commented on the wonderfully fitting sentence by the Italian poet Francesco Petrarch (who lived in the 14th century), "Everywhere one has heaven above oneself," as follows: "What is the use of prayer? This question moves me (...) I have found for myself the answer and the certainty that when I pray I am with the Lord, or rather, that when I pray he is often noticeably closer to me than usual. Thus, I retain the possibility of pouring out my heart to him (...) This intimacy with him makes me believe in him."

There is a useful rest area up here.

Prevo is a small hamlet of Vernazza located right in the center of the Cinque Terre National Park, along the blue (Sentiero Azzurro), 1.5 km from Corniglia and 1.3 km from Vernazza. It is located at the highest and most impressive point at 208 meters above sea level from which you can enjoy an unparalleled view of Corniglia and Manarola. Prevo was built at the beginning of the 16th century, by some families of shepherds who came from the mountains inland to spend the winter with their flocks. They had estimated that the area was among the warmest of the Cinque Terre, so that the basin that descends to the left from Prevo to the beach of Guvano and Punta Palma on the right, is still called "L'Inferno". On clear days, thanks to its position, Prevo is an excellent observation point from which you can see the island of Isola D'Elba, Gorgona, Capraia and Cap Corse (Corse, France). https://www.theheartofcinqueterre.com/

It was interesting to see where we were even if it is not really representative of the relief it is always cool to find that on our route.

Follow the red "A10" signs on the beech trees, being careful you can see them well even with leaves and snow. Ring that starts from Passo del Bocco, goes up the path that leads to the eastern peak, then follows the path on the ridge up to the central and western peak. You then descend along the path that passes through Poggio Buenos Aires (not continuing towards Colonia Devoto), passes it and emerges again on the dirt road that comes from Passo Bocco. Doable in both directions. The western uphill path is more tiring, the eastern one less so, both doable. Slight ups and downs along the ridge.

a place to rest in the cool and sheltered just below the cross of Monte Gottero.

Unfortunately no view from this point. It is best to continue hiking to Monte Rossola, from which you have a wonderful view!

This is the highest point of the island where a break to observe the view is well deserved
