피에트라브루나 최고의 러닝 경로

The road from Costarainera to Cipressa offers stunning sea views. In Cipressa, you can get water from the fountain.

This isn't the last fountain if you're aiming for the summit of Mount Faudo. In case of emergency, there's another one halfway up the Fratti climb, just after the last house before the Vena Pass: just follow the water pipe and you'll find it. Another one is located just below the summit, between Mount Faudo and Mount Follia, along the descent on the other side.

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.

One of the few trails maintained year-round, it's fun and very flowy. It's incredibly easy compared to any other trail in the area, if only because you don't have to walk through brambles.

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.

Monte Faudo, a word that seems to derive from the Arabic word "faud" or lighthouse, which the Saracens would have installed on the top of the mountain considering that, from that height, the view embraces a vast extension of the territory. The massif of Mount Faudo has always represented in ancient times a center around which relationships took place between the Ligurians of the Taggia valley (of Taggia) with those of the Imperia valleys; it is easily accessible from Taggia, from Badalucco, from Montalto, from Boscomare, from Pietrabruna, from Tavole, from Valloria.

The Church of Sant'Antonio is a small and charming chapel located along one of the most scenic hiking trails in the area. Situated in a dominant position, it offers splendid views of the Ligurian coast and the hinterland. The simple and rustic building is surrounded by olive groves and Mediterranean scrub, making it an ideal stop for hikers looking for a place of peace and contemplation during walks between nature and history.

Stunning viewpoint halfway up the Faudo. Often you can find wild horses in the shaded areas.
