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.

The Guardiabella summit can be reached by footpaths or by bike from San Bernardo di Conio, or by climbing north halfway down towards Lavina. This second route would be cyclable were it not for the steepness and the severe deterioration of the forest road. However, you can reach the summit by pushing. From there, a beautiful grassy descent leads practically to Caravonica. Guardiabella owes its name to an ancient battle between the Roman and Ligurian armies during the campaign to conquer Liguria.

The 1,418 meters of the summit of Monte Grande allow a panoramic view of a good portion of the Ligurian Apennines. It is located between the Impero, Carpasina and Giara valleys and there is a cross and a clearing on which to rest. On September 5, 1944, Monte Grande was the scene of a great partisan victory against the German and fascist positions located on its summit.

Beautiful view of the valley from here

Not so far from the actual summit of Monte Ceppo, located at 1,627 meters above sea level, this point is the highest that can be reached on asphalt. The last kilometers to get here from the southern side are really tough.

The surface is lousy in the upper area. When driving up, it is very annoying on the descent and costs a lot of time because there are hardly any roads in many places. landscape great. RECOMMENDATION: Gravel or MTB. Alternatively: schedule time

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.

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