Monte Settepani

Liguria

Monte Settepani carries a weather-radar dome and sits at the meeting point of the Bormida, Osiglia and Bormida di Millesimo basins. A road climbs most of the way from Melogno or Calizzano, and the last stretch on foot through beech and pasture opens to a view spanning the Alps, the Ligurian Apennine and the sea.
