Monte Gariglione

Monte Gariglione rises to 1765 meters above sea level, featuring granite outcrops and mixed forests of beech, fir, and white European Aspen trees.

The Gariglione barracks, constructed in 1908, served as a timber production facility for railway sleepers until operations ceased in 1914.

Ancient Greeks named the mountain after the Turkey oak, which they considered sacred to Zeus and planted extensively throughout the region.

The 5-kilometer trail from Gariglione barracks to the summit requires approximately 90 minutes of hiking with 100 meters of elevation gain.

During winter months, the mountain transforms into a natural cross-country skiing destination with paths overlooking the Pollitrea valley.
