#holidayvacation The salt roads between Piedmont and Liguria were lands of passage for shepherds, pilgrims, muleteers, traders and travelers who, from western Liguria and nearby Provence, reached Piedmont and northern Europe via the Alpine passes, creating dense networks of exchanges. These were places of transit guarded by many watchtowers scattered throughout the territory. The territory between the Alps and the Ligurian Sea is characterized by a rich cultural system consisting of churches, monuments, castles, historic centers and buildings, "hospitali" i.e. places of rest and prayer, as well as paths, mule tracks, passages.
Most of the routes called "Salt roads” starting from Nice and Porto Maurizio (in Liguria), converged into “Colle del Cornio” (nowadays known as “Colle di Tenda”) from where they continued northwards. Also known as "Via Marenga". (i.e. "that leads to the sea"), the Salt route that passed through Limone was a characteristic mule track that, although it exceeded very high altitudes, did not present annoying up and downs.
Nowadays, the "Salt Routes" have lost their commercial connotation and have taken on an important role in outdoor tourism: hikes, trekking and mountain bike destinations, which allow to explore territories that are still uncontaminated and rich in flora and fauna varieties.
The Salt road which goes along the former military road Limone - Monesi is a route of medium difficulty, which reaches, as its highest point, 2,239 m. above sea level. Starting points can be the railway station of Limone P.te, with a route of 53 km, or the “Colle di Tenda” with 39 km. The arrival is in Monesi di Triora at 1378 m. above sea level; with a ring route, you can return passing through the French territory.

Jungfrau Jungfrau, located in the Alps, at an altitude of 3,454 meters, connecting the Arechi glacier at 4,000 meters above sea level, with snow and clouds all the year round. This morning is really a big surprise, you can see the complete Jungfrau so clearly at such a close distance, thank you for all the beauty
Classic European mountains, there are small trains under the Alps, there are villages! The Alps have snow all year round, it is a skiing holy place, the lake at the foot of the mountain is very clear, the whole picture is very beautiful! Recommended!
The most beautiful and spectacular air-plane window view of the Alps in the clouds is very spectacular, the snow-capped mountains are white, and there are many tourists here to ski every year, the scenery is charming and worth visiting.
The mount Alps is a natural wonder and is widely regarded as a monument of elegance and a great place for adventure
All the way east along the Yinhe River. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait are large areas of green farmhouses, which make people enchanted with the green and the world's undisputed pastoral. In the distance is the endless snow-capped Alps. This time, I have seen enough, and I have also learned the longest tunnel that I have ever traveled. The feeling of endless bottomless isolates time and space. Come out, then suddenly open-minded, where the distant mountains are not humble and quiet. Two geese were seen at high altitude, moving forward with great efforts.
I think few people in the Alps don't know about it. Although they have heard about it before, they are still surprised to come to the Alps. It's too big and too high. Standing on the hillside, you can see the white clouds floating at the foot of the mountain. It's really spectacular.
The snowy Alps face the morning glow, dressed in rose-colored clothes; the cottages in the distance are shining like autumn waves sent by a girl, making people feel a stir. If forgetting is happiness, then I would rather live with this pain. I always thought that in the first place, there is a most original me, there will be a most original you.
The Alps are the most famous mountains in Europe, and they run through several countries. There are Jungfrau, Titlix, and Mont Blanc in Switzerland. Majestic, steep and steep, watch Titlix climb to Jungfrau!
