Beautiful, well kept

Hi, roughly how far is Sasso Simone from Sella dei Sassi? I mean without climbing up 😅. Thanks!

Equipped area with tables and barbecue, shaded, ideal for a break

Conceived by Cosimo I de' Medici in the spring of 1554, on the borders of the Marche on one of the most inaccessible peaks of the Apennines, the fortress city of Sasso Simone was an expression of the ambitious policy of the grand dukes of Tuscany But the daring project soon failed: defeated by the hardships and terrible climatic conditions, the inhabitants fled after just 10 years. The structures began to deteriorate more and more, until, in 1674, the city was already totally ruined and its dismantling was ordered to recover reusable materials.

The Sassi saddle is located at an altitude of 1,150 metres. This is the pass that separates Sasso di Simone and Mount Simoncello, the latter reachable with a detour that starts right from here.

Place to see, ancient fortress commissioned by Cosimo I of which little or nothing remains

The path from Passo Cantoniera to Sasso Simone is not always accessible, as part of the path is located inside the Military Range of Carpegna. On some days, access is prohibited (on days when fire drills are in progress). The current calendar can be consulted here: parcosimone.it/accessibilita-al-poligono-di-carpegna
