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.

View of the Castelluccio Plateau

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Castelluccio pass you can reach this panoramic point to admire the Castelluccio plain and the eastern side of the Sibillini mountains. From here you can observe the long and impressive fault generated by the earthquake. The colorful flowering of lentils occurs in summer, from July to August. An incredible human and natural spectacle.

View of the Castelluccio Plain

Highlight • Viewpoint

Different view from the usual ones on Castelluccio di Norcia, on the large plain and on Mount Vettore.
It is a dirt road with a very steep initial section but later more pedaled.
It also deserves the next stretch up to the pass.
