Parco naturale regionale di Piana Crixia

The regional park stretches across 794 hectares of land between Liguria and Piedmont, featuring steep rocky slopes and cultivated hills within its boundaries.

The park received its official designation in 1985 through Regional Law Number 8, establishing protected status for its geological formations and biological diversity.

Local residents maintain traditional agricultural practices while incorporating influences from both Piedmont and Ligurian regions in their food preparation methods.

The park provides multiple access points and trails of varying difficulty levels, with visitor centers offering maps and guidance for exploration.

The Stone Mushroom formation rises 15 meters high, consisting of a granite boulder balanced atop a column of clay material shaped by natural erosion.
