National Park of Monti Sibillini
When it appears on the horizon, you will recognise the National Park of Monti Sibillini instantly. Why, you ask? Because of its peaks, carved by glaciers and over 2,000 metres high, its brightly coloured slopes, or perhaps because of its wild charm. Amongst its steep peaks, dense forests, and broad valleys, you might run into chamois and ibex, or have the chance to admire majestic golden eagles. From amongst the gentians, edelweiss, and colourful lentil fields rises Mount Vettore, the highest of the Sibillini mountains, where the legendary prophetess Sibilla is said to have lived. While you’re there, don’t miss the Lame Rosse (Red Blades) and the charming Lake Fiastra.

Today, the “green heart of the Marche region” has been nominated a UNESCO World Heritage site. With its countless hiking trails, you can explore the famous Fracassi caves, which play host to a number of events and concerts, and discover places that leave you open-mouthed in wonder: the crystalised lake, “Niagara Falls”, the “Grand Canyon”, the Infinite Hall, and many other wonders!
