From this point you can enjoy a splendid view of Monte Vettore, the highest mountain of the Sibillini with its 2476 metres. To the south, however, the Tronto valley extends. At this point you are straddling the border between Umbria and the Marches. On the eastern wall of Monte Vettore the "Strada delle Fate" is visible, a path now in disuse which, according to legend, was created by the fairies fleeing Castelluccio who were forced to leave the town at sunrise because they stayed too long to celebrate. Just above the path, much more visible, there is a fault that opened during the 2016 earthquake.
