Monte delle Figne

Monte delle Figne is a mountain summit in the Ligurian Apennines positioned between the provinces of Genoa and Alessandria. The peak stands at approximately 1200 meters above sea level and offers hikers views across the surrounding ridge lines and valleys.

The mountain has served as a natural border between different administrative regions since medieval times. The boundary between Liguria and Piedmont has long followed routes across this ridge system.

A wooden cross sits at the summit, a common sight at mountain peaks across this region. Such religious symbols mark the landscape and reflect the traditions of local hill communities.

Marked trails reach the summit starting from Bocchetta Pass and from Isoverde near Campomorone. These routes connect with the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri long-distance walking path that runs through the region.

The northwestern slopes form part of Capanne di Marcarolo Natural Park and allow views toward other notable peaks in the range. This location makes it a good vantage point for hikers seeking to observe the surrounding mountain landscape.
