Lame Rosse inizio percorso
The Lame Rosse start is a hiking trail in the Sibillini National Park located in the Fiastrone Valley above Lake Fiastra in the Marche region. The trail begins at the dam and runs for about 3.5 kilometers uphill through an oak forest to reach red rock formations made of gravel, clay, and silt that create towers and spires.
The area has been used since ancient times by hikers who used the red rocks as natural landmarks for navigation. The Fiastra dam was built in 1955, creating the modern lake, while the rock formations themselves are the result of long natural erosion caused by wind and water over time.
The red rocks take their name from their distinctive coloring, which comes from iron oxide and varies from red to ochre depending on the time of day. For the local community of Fiastra, these formations are part of the natural identity of the region and are often mentioned in stories about the landscape.
The parking area is located about 500 meters from the start of the trail and is easy to reach on foot. The area has no access to water or refreshments along the path, so bring plenty of water and snacks with you.
Birdsong and wind sounds are frequently heard during the hike, and visitors sometimes report seeing signs of wild animals near the rocks. These sounds and signs of wildlife create a direct connection with the living landscape.
