The Monte Cucco Regional Park covers almost 10,500 hectares in the Umbrian Apennine area, on the border with the Marche. The Park area - included in the Municipalities of Fossato di Vico, Sigillo, Scheggia, Pascelupo and Costacciaro, in the province of Perugia - welcomes the highest peaks, together with the Sibillini Mountains, of the Umbrian-Marche Apennines. Monte Cucco is at an altitude of 1566 m.

The park has a rugged landscape with sheer rock faces and deep river cuts. Karst caves, underground tunnels that lead to rainwater basins and chasms that sink for kilometers.
The flora of the Park is very luxuriant thanks to the abundant rainfall. In this part of the Apennine ridge, meadows, woods of centuries-old beeches, maples, holm oaks and chestnut trees alternate with a few sparse silver firs, tall trees that in spring shade anemones, red lilies and bluebells and also buttercups, violets and wild orchids. Among the peaks covered with grass meadows and the valley floors sheltered by poplars and elms, there are, among others, porcupines, hares and foxes as well as roe and fallow deer. Woodpeckers, hoopoes and owls populate the skies together with buzzards and peregrine falcons. Natural habitat for bats are the dark and very deep caves.
