 | | On the steep, south–west spur of Monte Galero, you’ll see some sharp projections of rock jutting out in curious shapes. |
 | | These are known by the name of “Giganti di Pietra”, meaning Stone Giants, shaped by erosion which has selectively eaten away the “Brecce di Monte Galero”, removing only the least solid parts. |
 | | Thanks to its position lying between the Alps and the Mediterranean (like Monte Toraggio and Pietravecchia), it prides an assortment of “glacier relics”, in other words a variety of typical Alpine or Nordic plants which first reached Liguria during the last glaciation in the area. |
