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

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.

Stunning areas, little traffic

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

There are steel cables that aid the steep ascent, which requires good mobility, and there are some exposed sections, albeit short, that are not negligible. 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 Marche (municipality of Carpegna, in the province of Pesaro-Urbino). The summit of the mountain falls entirely within the province of Pesaro and Urbino[1]; it is also entirely included in the Sasso Simone and Simoncello regional natural park. Although the name is a diminutive of the nearby Sasso Simone, Simoncello is actually higher; in fact, it reaches 1,221 meters[2] in altitude compared to Sasso Simone's 1,204. Mount Simoncello forms a middle link in the mountain range that separates the valleys of the Marecchia (to the northwest) and Foglia (to the southeast) rivers. This range continues southward with the Sasso Simone and, further north, also includes Mount Carpegna (1,415 m). Many streams, tributaries of both the Marecchia and Foglia rivers, originate on the slopes of Mount Simoncello. (Wikipedia)
