Monte Sibillini

Nestled in the heart of Le Marche, the Monti Sibillini National Park is a realm of breathtaking natural beauty, ancient legends, and tranquil villages. The Monte Sibillini mountain range, often shrouded in an ethereal mist, is a paradise for adventurers and a sanctuary for those seeking a deeper connection with nature.

Explore & experience

The Monti Sibillini are a hiker’s dream, with trails catering to all levels. Ascend to the summit of Monte Vettore, the highest peak in the range, for panoramic views that stretch to the Adriatic Sea. Discover the glacial lake of Lago di Pilato. For a more leisurely experience, wander through the Castelluccio di Norcia, especially in late spring and early summer when it transforms into a tapestry of wildflowers during the famous fioritura. Quaint medieval villages like Visso, Ussita, and Amandola offer glimpses into traditional mountain life, with their stone houses, historic churches, and welcoming atmosphere. The park is also a haven for wildlife, so keep an eye out for wolves, deer, and golden eagles.

Local flavors

The cuisine of the Monti Sibillini reflects the robust flavors of the mountains. Lentils from Castelluccio are a regional specialty, renowned for their delicate taste and quick cooking time. Truffles, both black and white, are abundant here, gracing pasta dishes, omelets, and local cheeses. Don’t miss out on dishes featuring wild game, such as cinghiale (wild boar) or cervo (deer). Local pecorino cheese, made from sheep’s milk, is a must-try, often enjoyed with honey produced in the mountain valleys.
