Monte Caucaso

Monte Caucaso, Mountain summit in Liguria, Italy.

Monte Caucaso is a mountain summit in the Ligurian Apennines that reaches about 1245 meters elevation. The peak offers views across the Fontanabuona Valley and toward nearby Monte Ramaceto when weather permits.

The summit's military past is visible in the stone base of the hiking refuge built by the Comunità montana Fontanabuona on the site of an old military outpost. On New Year's Eve a torchlit procession climbs on foot from Barbagelata to the chapel dedicated to the Madonna on the summit. The mountain and its surroundings are protected as SIC IT1331811.

On New Year's Eve a torchlight procession climbs on foot from Barbagelata to the chapel dedicated to the Madonna on the summit of Monte Caucaso. The mountain's name is shared with the Caucasus range, though the sources give no explanation for it.

Trails reach the summit from the Passo della Scoglina, from Neirone via a steep path, and from Barbagelata. The Fontanabuona mountain community built a hiking refuge on the site of an old military outpost. On New Year's Eve a torchlight procession climbs from Barbagelata to the chapel of the Madonna on the summit.

The summit is the endpoint of a torchlight procession held on New Year's Eve, walking up from Barbagelata to the chapel dedicated to the Madonna on the peak. From the top, in favourable weather, the view reaches the Maritime Alps, Corsica and the Tuscan archipelago.
