Descrizione

The twelfth stage reaches, uphill, Parish of Marmora hamlet (1546 m) with the ancient church of San Massimo that houses, outside, the last frescoes by Tommaso Biasacci (XIV-XV century), memory of the late Middle Ages and a Gothic bell tower. A little further on, near the upper hamlet, leave the asphalt and take what is known as the "Napoleonica": a long hillside path that cuts the slopes of Mount Buch in the shadow of thick mixed forest, reaches the Colli dell'Encucetta Inferiore (Lower) (where you must avoid the deviation on the left for Stroppo Bassura) and Superiore (Upper) and arrives at Albaretto, an ancient village that today belongs to Macra. Downhill on a comfortable forest track you reach Palent (1479 m), a characteristic village nestled in the Comba d'Aramola, known for the cultivation of medicinal herbs for the production of liqueurs.
