WALK SUMMARY

This east-west traverse of the heart of the northern part of the Sibillini NP follows a thrilling ridge, bagging three of the Sibillinis’ main peaks (Sibilla, Cima Vallelunga and Monte Porche (2,233m)) plus six other summits over 2,000m.

The centerpiece of the ridge is a 4km-long, airy, ­narrow spine, which is not generally unpleasantly exposed, although a short stretch near Monte Sibilla merits metal cables.

This is a return walk to/from the Rifugio Sibilla above Montemonaco in the east. 18km/6 hours+ for the whole route.

Those who aren’t up to the full return ridge walk will still be hugely rewarded by climbing Monte Sibilla.

Stunning wildflowers in Spring.
