Monte San Giorgio, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy.
Monte San Giorgio is a mountain in the Cottian Alps that rises to 837 meters with steep sides. Its distinctive peridotite rock creates unusual geological features that shape the peak's character.
The mountain takes its name from Saint George, a figure rooted in local religious traditions. During World War II, the area became connected to loss when an Italian officer named Lorenzo Nicola died in events nearby.
A small chapel dedicated to Saint George sits at the summit and reflects the religious traditions of the area. It shows how people have connected this mountain to spiritual life for centuries.
Several trails lead to the summit, including a hiking path from Tre Castelli or mountain bike routes on dirt roads. The slopes are quite steep in places, so proper footwear and basic gear make the experience easier.
The unusual peridotite rocks come from the Ultrabasic Lanzo massif and create special soil conditions. These geological features influence plant growth and give the mountain a very different appearance compared to other peaks nearby.
