Monte Aiona

Monte Aiona rises to 1701 meters within the Ligurian Apennines, featuring steep slopes and natural terrains that form part of the mountain chain.

The mountain stands as a central point in the Ligurian Apennines, which emerged from the collision between African and European tectonic plates during the Neogene period.

The mountain area maintains traditional agricultural practices, with local communities preserving methods of cultivation passed through generations in the fertile southern slopes.

Hikers access Monte Aiona through marked T2 difficulty trails, with the Rifugio Monte Aiona-Pratomollo mountain shelter located 1655 meters from the main summit.

Monte Aiona ranks as the second highest peak among thirteen summits in Aveto Natural Regional Park and thirty-fifth among 2280 peaks in Liguria.
