바시아‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

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.

Climb on a well pedaled dirt road

Well pedaled dirt climb with beautiful views of the sea

Third of the three leaders of the Milano-Sanremo after the Mele and the Cervo, the Berta is the longest and hardest of the three. From Diano Marina, the climb is in fact almost two kilometers away and has an average gradient of over 7%, with peaks of 10%. At the brow there is a splendid view of the sea and there is a celebratory work of art of the Classicissima and its very rich roll of honor.

Arriving at the summit of Monte Follia, the hiker will also find a beautiful summit cross that crowns the mountain. They are often massive wooden crosses, but the builders designed this one very differently. It is made of iron or steel, and decorative ornaments are incorporated between the outlines of the longitudinal and transverse beams, which characterize the shape of the cross, as well as on the four outer corners of the crossing point.

Beautiful dirt trail with beautiful panoramic views.

Monte Faudo (1151 m) is a beautiful dome-shaped mountain that rises a short distance from the sea, overlooking the Ligurian Riviera.

Beautiful climb, last stretch to be done by pushing.
