フォルテデイマルミの峠・トップ6

A spectacular 360 degree view. Coast from Liguria to Elba. Mounts Pania, Cimone, Sumbra. As often on the Apuan Alps, very steep climbs and a sure step is required.

Challenging climb but with a rewarding view as you reach the Passo del Vestito. The asphalt is a bit poorly maintained, better to do it uphill than downhill

Serpentines are common in this area. The cool thing is that you can ride for many kilometers in one go without having to pedal and at an insane speed.

Beautiful view of the Apuan Alps

The question here is how to tackle this Monte Altissimo - the path looks like a very steep staircase...

Path of silence that opens from the chestnut trees to the scenery of the peaks. Mourning and memory. Houses of Monte Ornato, today ruins, firefight between partisans and Germans. Case Zuffone, Among the stones lying on the ground is engraved the name of Italo Evangelisti, a young man from Capriglia, who died in combat, together with three other partisans and four civilians, on 30 July 1944. The tratturo declines to the finds of the ancient silver and lead mines and then goes up towards the Argentiera, the first village of Sant'Anna raided and set on fire by the Germans who came from Capezzano. In the woods between caves, sheer rocks and ravines you reach the Martyrs' Memorial.

Suggestive pass located on the slopes of the SW ridge of the Altissimo, characterized by a strip of flat land surmounted by a large solitary "python" and equipped with a picnic table. Like the nearby P.so della Focoraccia, the Pass connects the Serra and Frigido valleys, the latter represented by the Renara tributary. Following historical studies it is believed that at the time of the Resistance the Pass allowed many Italians residing in Antona to reach the liberated territories of Azzano by crossing the Gothic Line (corresponding to the crest of the Altissimo), which is why the CAI 188 path which reaches it from Colle della Tecchia and the path connecting to CAI 32 have been called the "path of freedom".

Junction point of the paths that reach the SW ridge of M. Altissimo. It meets along the ridge coming from the above summit or from the underlying Passo della Greppia along the CAI 143 path. alternative paths connecting the CAI 32, one from the pass, the other from the narrow pass at the top of the canal between P.so degli Uncini and the underlying P.so della Greppia.
