Altopiano delle Rocche, Mountain plateau in Ovindoli, Italy.

The Altopiano delle Rocche extends across 60 square kilometers between the Velino and Sirente mountain ranges at an elevation of 1200 to 1400 meters.

The plateau exhibits geological formations from the Mesozoic period, including ancient glacial features that shaped its current limestone terrain and underground water systems.

The plateau connects three municipalities where residents maintain agricultural traditions through the cultivation of lentils, potatoes, and the raising of livestock.

The area functions as a winter sports destination with multiple ski facilities, while summer activities include hiking trails and mountain biking routes.

The Terranera sinkhole collects water from the entire plateau, which travels underground through natural caves before resurfacing at the Stiffe Caves.
