Draft:Bove Path

The Bove Path (Sentiero Bove) is a hiking route in the Italian Alps, with its starting and finishing point in the town of Cicogna, which lies entirely in Piedmont, a region in northern Italy. This path is recognized as the first via ferrata and Alta Via (high-altitude trail) in the Alps. Located in the Val Grande National Park, the trail is named after Giacomo Bove (23 April 1852 – 9 August 1887), an Italian explorer and navigator. Bove’s death led to the creation of the path as a memorial to his legacy.[1]
