Monte Pelpi

Monte Pelpi rises 1,495 meters between the Taro, Toncina, and Ceno valleys, featuring forests of beech, oak, hazel, hornbeam, and black aspen trees.

During World War II, the mountain area witnessed Nazi forces conducting operations against local resistance fighters who used the terrain for strategic operations.

Every August, residents participate in the festa di San Gioacchino, which includes an organized hike to the mountain summit and local celebrations.

The mountain trails remain accessible from spring through autumn, with the summit offering views of the Mediterranean Sea and neighboring peaks in clear weather.

A 22-meter steel cross, erected in 1955 at the summit's one-kilometer grassland stretch, replaced an earlier wooden structure through local community efforts.
