Monte Antola

Italy

LocationLiguria and Piemonte, ItalyParent rangeLigurian Apennines

Monte Antola (in Ligurian munte Antua) is a mountain in Liguria, northern Italy, part of the Ligurian Apennines.

Geography

The mountain is located between the provinces of Genoa and Alessandria. It lies at an altitude of 1597 metres.^[2] Close to the summit is located the Rifugio Parco Antola, a mountain hut built by the Ente Parco and managed by the Club Alpino Italiano. It can accommodate up to 32 hikers or alpinists.^[3]

Access to the summit

Several footpaths meet on mount Antola starting from the surrounding valleys. Among them can be cited:

the route from Bavastrelli (Propata), which reaches the summit in a couple of hours passing near the new mountain hut built by the natural park;
the route from Caprile, another village of Propata municipality, which after the saddle near Monte delle Tre Croci reaches the summit following the Po Valley/Ligurian Sea water divide. It takes around 2.30 hours' walking;
the route from Crocefieschi, through the Incisa pass, demanding more than 4 hours of walk;
the route from Torriglia through monte Carmo (around 3 hours).^[4]

Conservation

The southern side of the mountain since 1989 is included in the Parco naturale regionale dell'Antola.^[2]
