View of Monte Vettore

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this point you can enjoy a splendid view of Monte Vettore, the highest mountain of the Sibillini with its 2476 metres. To the south, however, the Tronto valley extends. At this point you are straddling the border between Umbria and the Marches. On the eastern wall of Monte Vettore the "Strada delle Fate" is visible, a path now in disuse which, according to legend, was created by the fairies fleeing Castelluccio who were forced to leave the town at sunrise because they stayed too long to celebrate. Just above the path, much more visible, there is a fault that opened during the 2016 earthquake.

Belvedere Hut and Panoramic Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

Leaving the path you reach the Belvedere refuge and the wooden walkway that leads to a panoramic platform. The view extends from Mount Vettore to the Laga mountains up to the Adriatic coast. From the Colle delle Cese refuge it is an easy excursion suitable for families. In summer the path is sunny but it is worth following it.

Forca di Presta Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Forca di Presta is one of the most famous passes in the Sibillini mountains. There are many trails that start from here. The most difficult ones go uphill towards Mount Vettore, the easiest ones at the foot of the mountain. There is also a wheelchair accessible trail called "Sentiero per Tutti NT2" that from the pass in three kilometers leads to the Belvedere refuge.
