Monte Taccone is a mountain located between Liguria and Piedmont in north-western Italy. It is part of the Ligurian Apennines.
Access to the summit
The mountain is accessible by signposted footpaths departing from Bocchetta Pass or Isoverde (municipality of Campomorone).
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.{{cite book |url= http://www.altaviadeimontiliguri.it/portale/resources/cms/documents/04_MIGNANEGO.pdf |author= Fabrizio Oneto and Fabrizio Càlzia |title= L'alta via dei monti liguri - Monti di Genova |website= www.altaviadeimontiliguri.it |language= Italian |publisher= Galata |accessdate= 2016-04-09 |url-status= dead |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20151211154412/http://www.altaviadeimontiliguri.it/portale/resources/cms/documents/04_MIGNANEGO.pdf |archivedate= 2015-12-11 }}
