Monte Armetta, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy
Monte Armetta rises to 1,739 meters within the Ligurian Prealps, featuring steep northern cliffs and gentle southern slopes covered with woods and pastures.
Local scholars debate the origin of the name Armetta, suggesting connections to either Hermes or the Ligurian word 'arma' meaning cave.
The mountain stands as the highest peak of the Ligurian Prealps, marking the boundary between the Tanaro and Arroscia valleys in northern Italy.
Visitors can reach the summit through marked footpaths connecting to the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri trail system, starting from Madonna del Lago sanctuary.
The mountain supports alpine flora including Leontopodium alpinum despite its Mediterranean location, demonstrating exceptional botanical diversity.
