Embark on the Cammino di Assisi: Monte Tiravento and Monte Arsiccio Loop, a difficult hike that takes you through diverse terrain and offers expansive views. This 9.0 miles (14.5 km) route challenges you with 2402 feet (732 metres) of elevation gain, typically completed in about 5 hours and 20 minutes. You will traverse natural paths, gravel, and exposed ridges, particularly on Monte Tiravento, where you can enjoy magnificent vistas that stand out from the usual dense forests of the Casentinesi National Park. Look for the Howling Cave of Premilcuore along the way, a unique landmark on this rewarding journey.
Planning your visit requires good fitness and sure-footedness, so make sure you wear sturdy hiking shoes. The trail includes sections with thin, slippery gravel and exposed ridges, demanding careful navigation. While there are no specific warnings about road closures or permits, be aware that the route can become quite busy, especially during spring and autumn. Prepare for continuous uphill climbs and consider starting early to avoid crowds and enjoy the cooler parts of the day.
This loop offers a distinct experience within the Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna, moving beyond the typical forest canopy to reveal open landscapes. Beyond the panoramic views, you will encounter glimpses of monumental oaks and wild valleys, showcasing the rich natural environment. The trail's unique combination of challenging ascents and varied scenery makes it a notable option for experienced hikers seeking a different perspective of the region.
