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."

Climb to Treggin from Bargone, very steep, a few points where it flattens out slightly but in general there is a difference in altitude in a few km so it's a lot. Stretches of forest and otherwise, especially towards the top, fairly clean path, uphill you can follow it well (red X). Downhill, especially at the top, you can get a little lost, look for fairly frequent signs. Almost always rocky terrain, some beaten pieces in the woods. Area exposed to the sun but remains wet and humid in autumn and with previous days of rain.

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

Monte Gottero rises up to 1639 m above sea level and is part of the eastern Ligurian Apennines.

Starting point of the enduro trails "Baracchino", "RAI short" and "Rai long" reachable via a paved road from Aurelia

No comparison to the hiking trails around Monterosso. Very steep and lots of loose scree on the way up, but the view of Levanto makes up for it. Take enough to drink with you, there is nothing on the way

Monte Porcile (1249 m) rises on the watershed between Val di Vara and Val Graveglia, south-east of the wide saddle of Passo del Biscia. It is a beautiful isolated mountain, mostly grassy, ​​with the shape of a steep and prominent dome that makes it easily recognizable even from afar. It is one of the most beautiful and panoramic peaks in the mountain range, but ultimately not very popular. The summit consists of a large, slightly undulating grassy area culminating in two elevations; both are surmounted by small summit crosses. A little below, on a ledge protruding to the east, is a small isolated repeater. The mountain consists mainly of the so-called "calpionelle limestones", very fine-grained limestone rocks of pure white color. On the southwest side, on the other hand, jaspers emerge, characteristic siliceous sedimentary rocks with a reddish tinge. Within the jasper there are often veins mineralized with manganese; For this reason, a mine was created on the south side of the mountain between the 19th and 20th centuries (one of the many in Val Graveglia and in the adjacent areas), the remains of which are still visible today. Monte Porcile, together with Monte Zenone and Alpe di Maissana, belonged to the "Tre Monti" mining area. On a clear day, from the top of Mount Porcile, you can see a very wide panorama, over the entire arc of Liguria, from the Cinque Terre to Ventimiglia, on the south-western part of the Alps, on the Val di Vara with Mount Góttero, on a part of the ridge of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Apuan Alps. If you are lucky you can see the Tuscan islands and Corsica amidst the blue expanse of the Ligurian Sea. Source: https://montiliguri.weebly.com/monte-porcile.html

From the Foce dei Tre Confini it is exactly 223 meters in altitude that you will push, carry and hardly ride your bike. The view from the summit at 1,639 meters is fantastic and the descent that follows to the Passo della Cappelletta (1,086 meters) is a highlight for every mountain biker.
