Ronco di Maglio
Ronco di Maglio is a mountain in Liguria, northern Italy, part of the Ligurian Prealps.
Geography
The mountain is located near the centre of the Provincia di Savona, between the comuni (municipalities) of Osiglia and Bormida, and is one of the highest of the Ligurian Prealps. It stands on the ridge dividing two valleys belonging to the Bormida watershed, Osiglia valley (west) and Pallare valley. Going South a saddle at 858 metes divides it from Bric della Croce (911 m), while northwards the ridge lowers and ends up between Plodio and Millesimo.[1] Near the summit can be seen a few pine trees remaining from a thick coniferous wood which used to grow in there.
History
Around the mountain top some remains of Napoleonic trenches can be seen.[3]
Access to the summit
Ronco di Maglio can be ascended by various waymarked foothpats; among them can be reminded the one starting from Colla Baltera (794 m[1]) which, passing through Bric della Croce, reaches the summit from South. The mountain is also accessible by mountain bike.[4] The mountain top is wooded and almost flat; on its highest point stands a cairn with a summit register.
Nature conservation
The mountain and its surrounding area are part of a SIC (Site of Community Importance) called Ronco di Maglio (code: IT1322216).[5]
