Monte Monna

Monte Monna rises to 1952 meters above sea level, featuring a bare rocky summit that contrasts sharply with the lush beech forests covering its lower slopes.

The mountain has served as a natural landmark and strategic lookout point for centuries, with ancient shepherds and travelers using its prominent position for navigation and surveillance.

Local traditions refer to the peak as 'La Monna' from the dialect word 'monnata' meaning peeled, reflecting its distinctive bare summit that distinguishes it from surrounding forested mountains.

Hikers can access the summit via marked trails from Vico nel Lazio starting near San Giorgio church, with the round trip taking approximately six hours and gaining 1250 meters in elevation.

The summit hosts the sources of the Cosa River and offers panoramic views spanning the Valle del Sacco, Alatri town, and the extensive plains of the Ciociaria region.
