The top of the lake, 2,422 meters above sea level, remains hidden from the path. Coming from the Zilioli bivouac, the path to the summit is more obvious. The view is truly very beautiful: on one side the Castelluccio Plain, on the other Lake Pilato and the Adriatic Sea in the background.

Pilate Lake

Highlight • Lake

It is a body of water of glacial origin of the Alpine type, one of the few in the Apennines, enclosed in a narrow glacial valley north of the main peak of the massif, surrounded by the highest peaks of the Sibillini Mountains (Monte Vettore 2476 m, Cima del Redentore 2449 m, Cima del Lago 2422 m and Pizzo del Diavolo 2,410 m). The only natural lake in the Marche, it was formed due to the damming created by the remains of a glacial moraine. The latest modeling of the glacial valley is from the Upper Pleistocene (125,000 to 10,000 years ago). Its location between impervious and vertical walls immediately below the top of Monte Vettore is particular and suggestive.
The lake is home to a particular endemism, the Marchesoni Chirocephalus: it is a small red crustacean measuring 9-12 millimeters and swims with its belly facing upwards. The area also has a very small insect called dytiscis, a black aquatic beetle of Boreal-Alpine origin.
