The snow-capped Maritime Alps seen from Sestri Levante

Le Alpi Marittime innevate viste da Sestri Levante

The snow-capped Maritime Alps seen from Sestri Levante.
On particularly clear and cold days (I have had this photo in my archive for a long time and I really don't think the day I'm posting it was that cold) from my Sestri Levante you can see the Maritime Alps, those on the border between Italy and France, very well.
Obviously to photograph them you need a good telephoto lens!

The Maritime Alps are a section of the Alpine chain located in the Western Alps. According to the Partition of the Alps, they are the Alpine section that extends between the Tenda pass and the Cadibona pass. According to the SOIUSA, however, they constitute a subsection included in the section "Maritime Alps and Prealps of Nice" and extend from the Tenda pass to the Maddalena pass.

The snow-capped Maritime Alps seen from Mount Zatta

Le Alpi Marittime innevate viste dal Monte Zatta

The snow-capped Maritime Alps seen from Monte Zatta.
One of the most beautiful paths I remember walking is definitely the Zatta ring.
Coming down from the ridge, along the way back, you look towards the West and, on a day like the one I had been on, you could see the snow-capped peaks of the Alps very well (here in the photo I think they are the Maritime ones).

I took several photos along the Monte Zatta path and if you want to see them go to this page:

To see in detail the path I took I invite you to go to wikiloc.com.

The summit of the Zatta mountain massif consists of a long wavy ridge, crossed by an easy ridge path. On the outer edges of this ridge are the Zatta di Ponente mountain (1355 m) and the Prato Pinello mountain (1390 m). Between the two ends rises the main peak, the Zatta di Levante mountain (1404 m). The southern slope is steep and stony, while the northern slope, towards the Bocco pass, has a gentler slope and is covered by a large beech forest.

Gramolazzo Lake in the province of Lucca

Gramolazzo Lake in the province of Lucca
Some time ago I went on a little trip to Lucca and, on the way back, I decided to take the road that passes behind the Apuan Alps between Garfagnana and Lunigiana.
I must admit that I have never been there and I was very surprised to see this environment which is truly Alpine.
At one point we came across this beautiful alpine lake which I discovered was artificial.

The Apuan Alps seen from Mount Groppi

Le Alpi Apuane viste dal Monte Groppi

The Apuan Alps seen from Monte Groppi.
As I wrote to you some time ago, from the top of Monte Groppi, one of the mountains overlooking the Passo del Bracco (the road that goes from my Sestri Levante to La Spezia), you can enjoy an almost 360 degree view.
Looking east you can see, very clearly, the Apuan Alps.
You will have all recognized them, right?

To see all the photos I took along the trail, click here:

The adjective “Apuane” is linked to the population of the Apuan Ligurians, who populated part of the Ligurian and Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Apuan Alps in pre-Roman Italy. Strabo called them Lunae montes, meaning “mountains of the moon,” Dante Alighieri called them Monti di Luni, an ancient Roman city in the province of La Spezia.

Ho visto le foto del lago di Braies, postate da Claudia su Facebook e, avendole trovate molto belle, le ho “rubate” ed inserite sul sito.

Il lago di Braies è uno splendido laghetto alpino che si trova in Trentino Alto Adige.

Le Alpi Marittime innevate viste dal Tigullio.
Tra ieri ed oggi le Alpi Marittime sfoggiano le loro cime innevate e, complice il clima freddo e secco, sono chiaramente visibili anche dal golfo del Tigullio.
