Passo del Faiallo

Passo del Faiallo (1044 m) is a mountain pass between the Province of Savona (SV) and the Metropolitan City of Genoa (GE).

It connects Urbe (SV) with Passo del Turchino (GE), both in Liguria.

The name Faiallo indirectly comes from Latin fagus (beech in English) through the equivalent Ligurian and Piedmontese terms.

[1] It can be reached from San Pietro d'Urbe (SV) by the provincial road nr.

[3] The pass is also accessible by off-road mountain paths and is crossed by the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri, a long-distance trail from Ventimiglia (province of Imperia) to Bolano (province of La Spezia).
