Monte Bignone
The mountain behind Sanremo, rising to 1,299 m. From the summit, the view stretches from the sparkling Riviera coast to Corsica. It is a popular spot for hiking and mountain biking.
Monte Bignone lies directly north of Sanremo. At 1,299 m, it is the highest peak in the area closest to the sea. A cable car once ran from the town to the summit, but it has since closed. Today you can drive almost to the top along a road, or hike up from the village of San Romolo in about 1.5 to 2 hours. The summit has a cross and viewpoints. On clear days you can see the Ligurian coast, the French Riviera and even Corsica out at sea, with the Maritime Alps behind. The chestnut forests and trails on the mountain are also popular with mountain bikers.
