Subjects : From the top of the mountain you can photograph birds of prey such as: Griffon Vulture, Golden Eagle, Kestrel, Buzzard, Short-toed Eagle and also the Alpine Chough and the Raven. On the way it is possible to meet the Marmot (there are several burrows), and some small birds such as the Wheatear, Linnet, Peephole,

Recommended equipment : In addition to the Full Frame or APS-C camera, a 500 - 600 mm telephoto or zoom lens is recommended. You can photograph griffon vultures even with a 100-400.

Best months : From June to October.

How to get there : On the Italian side you can pass through Monesi di Triora, part of the road is unpaved, there is no need for a 4x4 in summer, but I would certainly avoid going with cars with low ground clearance. On the French side you can pass through Briga Marittima, but I don't know the conditions of the road.

Visits : The mountain has no entrance fees or tolls to pay, you can go there safely.

Notes : In winter it could snow, so a 4x4 with chains on board is a must.
