Monte Gottero, Mountain summit between Liguria and Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Monte Gottero rises to 1639 meters above sea level, marking the highest elevation in La Spezia province with sandy formations and northern glacial cirques.
During World War II in 1944, the mountain became a strategic location for a significant battle between partisan forces and Nazi-fascist troops.
The iron cross erected in 1933 by Albareto residents stands at the summit alongside a trigonometric point and a memorial commemorating the wartime battle.
The Alta Via dei Monti Liguri trail network connects multiple access points including Passo di Centocroci, Passo dei Due Santi, and Foce di Adelano.
From the peak, visitors can view the northern Tyrrhenian Sea, Corsica, Tuscan Archipelago, Maritime Alps, and the northern Alpine chain in clear conditions.
