Bric Puschera, Mountain summit in Serole, Italy
Bric Puschera is a mountain summit standing at 845 meters in elevation, representing the highest point across Asti province and the surrounding Langa astigiana region. The slopes descend sharply from the peak, creating wide views across multiple landscape zones.
The summit was formerly called Ursaiola, a name recorded for the hill above Serole near the Ligurian border. The sources document no church or chapel on the mountain, so its history rests on this older toponym and on its position as the highest point of the Langa astigiana.
The summit's older name, Ursaiola, survives only in records; the mountain now carries the name Bric Puschera. It lies in the comune of Serole, close to the Ligurian border, so the peak marks the edge of Asti province and of the Langa astigiana. Walkers who reach the top on a clear day look out over the Alps, the Ligurian Apennines and the Ligurian Riviera.
The summit lies in the municipality of Serole, close to the Ligurian border; the sources give no rail link, so approach it by road from Serole or the nearby villages. The climb is short but the final stretch is on foot. Go on a clear day, when the view reaches the Alps, the Ligurian Apennines and the Ligurian Riviera.
From the summit, visitors can see three distinct geographical regions at once: the Alps, the Ligurian Apennines, and the Ligurian Riviera. This rare vantage point makes it a special spot for understanding the broader landscape.
