Monte Alpet, Mountain summit in Cuneo Province, Italy
Monte Alpet is a mountain summit in the Ligurian Alps reaching approximately 1,600 meters, marked by steep slopes and open meadows. The terrain shifts between wooded sections and open grassland, creating varied landscapes across the mountainside.
In March 1944 Monte Alpet became a refuge area for the autonomous partisans of commander "Mauri", who withdrew to the mountain from the Casotto valley after suffering heavy losses at the hands of Nazi-fascist troops. The mountain lies on the ridge dividing the Corsaglia valley from the Casotto valley, across the municipalities of Roburent and Pamparato.
The mountain lies in the territory of Roburent and Pamparato, and its name is used for the two-seater chairlift that serves the slopes. The ski area of San Giacomo di Roburent-Cardini spreads at its foot, and from the runs the view opens north and north-east over the Cuneo plain to the Monviso.
Marked trails lead to the summit, with the main path starting from the chairlift base station and offering different difficulty levels. Seasonal changes in snow or vegetation can alter the trails, so planning flexibility is useful.
A two-seat chairlift named after Monte Alpet runs up the mountain, and just below its top station stands Cima Colmè at 1,297 m. The summit itself reaches 1,611 m on the ridge between the Corsaglia and Casotto valleys, with the Colle della Navonera separating it from Cima del Nascio to the south.
