바스티아 움브라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 산 정상

We're practically at the highest point of Mount Subasio, almost level with the communications antennas, about 1,250 meters above sea level... our eyes stretch out 360° around us, stretching to the northeast over the Marche region and to the west even into Tuscany. Everything is beautiful.

Going up from the Assisi side, the stretch from Col San Rufino to the summit is not asphalted

Here you are right on the top of Mount Subasio, and the view is breathtaking. On the right, the "west elevation", where the paragliding launches take off. Beautiful!

summit of Mount Subasio. 360° panoramic view

Long but substantially easy road that leads to the top of Subasio and beyond, until descending from the opposite side to the Carceri and subsequently Assisi. Very scenic route

The mountain Monte Subasio, the local mountain of Assisi, is about 1,290 meters high and is an ancient and mystical mountain. Since early Christian times, its caves have been home to many ascetics and hermits, and its forests have been crossed by monks who settled there over time. Of course, among these monks was Saint Francis. The mountain has a “rounded top”, a huge summit plateau and this offers a breathtaking panoramic view that is second to none. During our hike in October 2023, we were even able to see wild horses in the wild up there.

The cross at the summit of the Sasso Piano (Croce di Sasso Piano) at 1124 m stands on a grassy saddle and offers the hiker a breathtaking panoramic view of the Umbrian landscape and the old town of Assisi at its feet. There are also beautiful views of Monte Tezio and Monte Acuto (N-W), Perugia and Lake Trasimeno (W-N-W), whose reflections are only visible in the afternoon, the saddle of Torgiano (W), the wooded hills of Bettona (W-S-W ), in the background the Martani Mountains (S-S-W), on the Bevagna (S) and Foligno (S-S-E) valley sections. The large, massive limestone boulders on the plateau appear to have been shaped for the use of hikers, who find this an ideal place for rest and reflection. "Cities, villages, castles, churches, farmhouses, rivers, streams, blue forests, lonely peaks, rich pastures, gentle olive groves, arduous plains appear from above as if in the magic of a vision" (Arnaldo Fortini).

View extends to Assisi and over the whole wide valley. Wonderful flowers 🌺 in May.
