Etymology

Bric in Ligurian means hill or mountain, while dente in Itailan means tooth.

Geography
Summit pillar.

The mountain stands on the Adriatic / Ligurian drainage divide between Passo del Faiallo and Passo del Turchino. It belongs to the province of Genoa, in Liguria. Its summit is a tripoint at which the valleys of Cerusa, Orba and Stura di Ovada meet.[4] Sella Bernè (894 m) divides Bric del Dente from the neighbouring Monte Giallo (at East, 969 m), while a saddle at 931 m divides it from Monte Reixa (westwards, 1183 m). The top of the mountain is marked by a memorial pillar overlooked by a small summit cross.

Environment

Bric del Dente sides are generally rocky and steep save the south-western one, gentler and grassier.

Since 1985 the mountain belongs to the Parco naturale regionale del Beigua.[1]

Access to the summit

The mountain is easily accessible by signposted tracks departing from Sella Bernè, Passo del Faiallo or Masone.[5]

The Alta Via dei Monti Liguri, a long-distance trail from Ventimiglia (province of Imperia) to Bolano (province of La Spezia), passes very close to the mountain's summit.[6]

gollark: Heavserver has some overly aggressive ones somewhere.
gollark: But that would also be a superset of Rust.
gollark: We all know Macron is a Rust superset.
gollark: **STOP DOING MACRON**- MACROS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR EVERYTHING- Years of Macron "development" yet NO ACTUAL SPECIFICATION or COHERENT LANGUAGE DESIGN- Wanted to use macros anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called Lisp.- "there's two kinds of forwarding. `impl<Int(N)(a)> Int(M)(a) where N < M`. Macron is already named. bags, which are like modules but you can't get a specific thing out" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged.LOOK what Macron authors have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the computers and tooling we built for them (This is REAL Macron, done by REAL Macronians):```def sentinel(x: a, v: a): a? { (x != v).then(x)}``````def id(x: a): a { x}def thing(): Int? { id(0)}```"Hello I would like `impl<u8(a)> T(a)` apples please."
gollark: Like Macron.
