Monte Bue

Monte Bue is a pyramidal summit with grass-covered slopes and sandstone rock formations that rises to 1,775 meters above sea level. The mountainside displays varied geology and vegetation patterns that shift with elevation and sun exposure.

Infrastructure development on the mountain began in the 1960s with a cable car built to connect the lower town to the summit, which opened in winter 1965. A two-seater chairlift was later installed in 2008 to improve access and transport up the slope.

The mountain anchors the landscape where three different valleys meet, defining the sense of place for communities living below. People in the region use the peak as a natural landmark to orient themselves in the wider terrain.

A two-seater chairlift system reaches the summit in two sections, first arriving at Prato Cipolla before continuing to the peak. A mountain hut near the top provides basic facilities and shelter for visitors.

The peak stands as the highest mountain in Piacenza Province and marks a notable geographic feature between two Italian regions. Its location makes it a significant topographic point where different landscape zones meet and shift.
