Monte Aiona

Monte Aiona is a mountain in the Ligurian Apennines reaching approximately 1700 meters above sea level. Steep slopes and natural rock formations characterize the summit and link it to the surrounding mountain range.

The mountain formed through tectonic activity when African and European plate collisions raised the Ligurian Apennines. This geological process shaped the landscape over millions of years.

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

Marked hiking trails of moderate difficulty lead to the summit, and a mountain hut nearby provides shelter and rest. The best time to visit is late spring through early autumn when conditions are stable and trails are clear.

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