Colin, Alex, and I decided to use a weekend day to hike up Monte San Vicino, the largest mountain nearby Coldigioco. A 2 hour walk got us to the top and we took a longer, gentler route on the return to home.
A harras of horses was turned loose on the shoulder of the mountain so hung out with them for a while.
Climbing in the sun was incredibly hot but the various environments we hiked through were gorgeous: fields, rocks, forests, villages.
Looking west on the summit one can see the weather station and cross that were at the top of the mountain. Almost every mountain top I saw in Europe had a cross on it of some size. This one was about 30 feet tall, which made it taller than most.
Look south.
Looking north.
Looking northwest...oh look who it is!
