Monte Patino

Monte Patino is a limestone summit in the Sibillini range reaching 1,883 meters elevation. The mountain features numerous trails that wind through varied terrain from lower slopes to the peak.

The peak served as a natural boundary between communities in Umbria starting in medieval times. This role as a dividing line persisted for centuries.

Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices on Monte Patino's slopes, continuing methods passed down through generations of mountain inhabitants.

Visitors should bring sturdy footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, and plenty of water. Mountain conditions can shift rapidly, so proper preparation is essential.

The northern face reveals distinct geological layers showing millions of years of marine sediment deposit. These exposed strata tell the story of an ancient seafloor that once existed here.
