Parco del Beigua — Alpette Walk
Liguria
The Parco del Beigua is a UNESCO Global Geopark — the ophiolite rocks on the ridge are fragments of ancient ocean floor (Tethys Ocean, 160 million years old) exposed at the surface. The Beigua ridge (Monte Beigua, 1,287 m) is the largest moth migration site in Europe in September (Silver Y moths by the billion). The view spans from the Alps to the Ligurian Sea with both visible simultaneously.
