This range connects Monte Alto (1,904 m) and Monte Punta Buffanaro (1,878 m) through an area known as the Groppi di Camporaghena and Torsana.
The first historical records of the village of Camporaghena date back to the years 1470 and 1471, when it was mentioned in documents from the Diocese of Luni-Sarzana. These records specify that the chapel of Camporaghena, together with that of Torsana, was under the jurisdiction of the Parish Church (Pieve) of Crespiano, also located within the municipality of Comano.
The ancient medieval village of Camporaghena is distinguished by the presence of numerous stone portals and on the wall of one building within the village, the coat of arms of the Malaspina family is still visible, likely dating back to the 13th century.
