Monte Bo

Monte Bo is a mountain summit in the Pennine Alps that rises between the Sessera and Cervo valleys at 2,556 meters elevation. The peak offers broad views across the mountain range and down to the plains below.

The summit was mapped and explored by members of the Italian Alpine Club during the 19th century. Their documentation helped establish scientific understanding of this part of the Alps.

The territory spans across several local communes that together shape how the mountain is cared for and used. This shared responsibility is visible in how visitors find the trails and shelters maintained along the routes.

A marked hiking trail leads from Montesinaro village to the summit, making for a steady uphill journey. A small emergency shelter called Bivacco Antoniotti sits near the peak and provides basic refuge in bad weather.

It stands as the second-highest peak in the province, with only Monte Mars rising higher nearby. This ranking makes it a popular choice for climbers seeking a substantial altitude challenge in the region.
