From Passo Teglia to Monte Monega in Parco delle Alpi Liguri

We ascend via the scenic road to Passo della Teglia (1385 m) where we leave the cars and enter the dense beech forest along a beautiful, almost level mule track to the magical Ciotto di San Lorenzo basin.

Continue on to the Crescent Pass (1452 m). The name is perhaps a legacy of ancient Saracen frequentations, or perhaps derived from its shape. From here you ascend along the dirt road that also leads to the pastures of Pian del Latte.

We then leave the dirt road to follow a path that climbs to the summit of Mount Monega (1882 m) from where the view sweeps from the sea to the mountains. The return takes place for a stretch on the grassy ridge to the Mezzaluna Pass and then retraces the outward path.
