Passo della Scoglina

Passo della Scoglina is a mountain pass at 926 meters elevation in Liguria connecting three valleys across the municipalities of Favale di Malvaro, Montebruno, and Rezzoaglio. Provincial roads link these areas through Val d'Aveto, Val Trebbia, and Val Fontanabuona, creating a key junction in the regional network.

The pass served as a strategic location for Italian Resistance activities during World War II, commemorated by a memorial stone installed in 1985. This role made it an important point in the regional history of the Italian liberation movement.

The pass marks the birthplace of two rivers, the Malvaro and Aveto, while the surrounding area contains small deposits of pyrite, attracting mineralogy enthusiasts.

Access via provincial roads offers reasonable driving conditions across seasons for most vehicles. The location suits hikers and cyclists planning extended routes through the forested mountain terrain.

Two rivers originate near this pass: the Malvaro and the Aveto, which flow in different directions from this ridge. Small deposits of pyrite minerals in the surrounding area attract collectors interested in geology.
