サッソフェッラートの峠・トップ4

Tough climb on a dirt road, but worth it!

The descent ends on a dirt road and you take the slightly uphill asphalt road, leaving the Fonte Avellana monastery on the right up to the collar from which you take the nosedive towards Frontone.

Scheggia is a border town, and has always been, since the times of the Ancient Romans. Its charm lies in the testimonies of that era that can still be visited: the Abbey of Santa Maria di Sitria and the Hermitage of San Girolamo. Nearby is also the suggestive Scheggia pass: an Apennine passage located at 632 meters above sea level.

Pass at more than a thousand meters on a dirt road just below Monte Aguzzo. From here you can climb to the top at 1110 meters and enjoy a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape.

From here we can enjoy beautiful views of the mountains around us. The woods we will encounter are beech trees, but also pines and Mediterranean scrub.

The Fossato pass is an Apennine pass at 738 m that connects Umbria with the Marches, between Fossato di Vico and Fabriano. It's an ancient and scenic road, the asphalt is a little worn and there are stretches of cobblestone on the hairpin bends.

First (or last) town in Umbria along the old Via Flaminia, excellent for supplies before heading back down to Rome
