Bric del Dente, Beigua watershed
Liguria
Bric del Dente is exactly what its name says — a broken fang of green stone standing above the pastures of the Beigua watershed. The Alta Via dei Monti Liguri traverses it, climbing from the Prato Rotondo hut above Sciarborasca through heath and serpentine outcrop to a summit with the sea on one side and the Ligurian Alps on the other.
