Monte Bignone

The nearly one-kilometer stretch on the SP56 offers a stunning 360-degree panorama of the Ligurian mountains, the Riviera, and the Maritime Alps. At the summit of the mountain stands a charming little white church. However, the view is somewhat marred by the many radio towers surrounding it. The road leading up is quite challenging and requires effort to conquer. Its starting point is marked by the southern ramp of the Passo Ghimbegna. From there, it winds uphill through very narrow, steep, and tightly packed hairpin turns through the forest. The road surface is rough and, in places, barely existent. At the radio towers, the asphalt ends, and the trail to the summit is quite rutted, making it impassable for regular cars or street motorcycles. However, it only takes about 15 minutes on foot to reach the summit, and the short hike is definitely worth it.
