Monte Carmo di Loano

Monte Carmo di Loano reaches 1389 meters in elevation and features a northern slope with dense forests and a southern side with rocky outcrops.

The mountain's name derives from the pre-Latin term 'kar' meaning stone or rock, and historical documents from the 1500s referred to it as Monte Calvo.

The mountain forms part of the Prealpi Liguri range and stands as a designated Site of Community Importance within the M.Carmo - M.Settepani conservation area.

Visitors can access the mountain through multiple entry points, including trails from Pietra Ligure, Ranzi, Giogo di Toirano, and Colle del Melogno.

From the summit's cross, clear days offer views extending to Corsica, the entire Ligurian Riviera, and numerous peaks of the Ligurian Alps.
