Passo del Turchino Loop

The Turchino Pass is famous as the finish of Milan–San Remo, cycling's Monument. On foot, a forest loop from Ovada climbs to the 532 m pass on the Ligurian-Piedmont border, then traverses the ridge above the sea before descending through chestnut woods. Breathtaking dual-sea views at the crest.
