There are steel cables that help the steep ascent, good movement ability is required, there are exposed sections, albeit short, not negligible.The Simoncello is an important mountain in the Apennines, located on the border between Emilia-Romagna (municipality of Pennabilli, in the province of Rimini), Tuscany (municipality of Sestino, in the province of Arezzo) and the Marches (municipality of Carpegna , in the province of Pesaro-Urbino).
The top of the mountain falls entirely within the province of Pesaro and Urbino [1]; it is also entirely included in the regional natural park of Sasso Simone and Simoncello. Although the name is a diminutive of the nearby Sasso Simone, the Simoncello is actually higher; in fact, it reaches an altitude of 1,221 meters [2] against the 1,204 of Sasso Simone. The Simoncello forms an intermediate ring in the mountain range that separates the valleys of the Marecchia (north-west) and Foglia (south-east) rivers, a chain that continues southward with the Sasso Simone and which further north also includes Mount Carpegna (1,415 m). Many tributary streams of both the Marecchia and the Foglia are born from the slopes of the Simoncello.
