Monte Rama, Mountain summit in Liguria, Italy

Monte Rama is a mountain summit in the Ligurian Apennines standing at roughly 1148 meters high. The peak forms part of a ridge that runs toward the Mediterranean Sea and sits within a protected natural area.

Monte Rama is formed of serpentinites and serpentinoschists belonging to the Capanne di Marcarolo serpentine complex, part of the Voltri greenstone-calceschist group dating to the Jurassic-Cretaceous. Near bric Camulà, banks of calcium silicate known as rodingites outcrop. The summit lies entirely within the municipality of Cogoleto and is now inside the Parco naturale regionale del Beigua.

The mountain attracts regional climbers who use it as a training ground and know its routes well. Visitors often encounter hikers who have walked these paths many times and consider the ridge part of their local landscape.

Walkers can follow several marked trails that lead to the summit from different starting points in the area. Most routes take between two and three hours and use well-established paths through the mountains.

The summit lies entirely within the municipality of Cogoleto, and the mountain is built of serpentinite and serpentine schists of the Capanne di Marcarolo serpentine complex, part of the Voltri greenstone-calceschist group dating from the Jurassic-Cretaceous. Near bric Camulà, outcrops of calcium-silicate rock called rodingite appear. From Cogoleto the peak looks pyramidal, from Arenzano almost perfectly conical.
