Monte Sirente

Monte Sirente rises to 2,349 meters in elevation, forming the highest peak of a mountain chain that extends 13 kilometers through the Marsica region.

During the last Pleistocene glaciation, glacial forces carved deep gorges into the northern side of Monte Sirente, creating its current geological structure.

The mountain stands within the Sirente-Velino Regional Park, where local communities maintain traditional Abruzzese practices connected to the mountainous environment.

Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit, with spring and early autumn offering the most favorable conditions for mountain activities.

The southern slope of Monte Sirente gradually descends toward the Fucino plain, contrasting with the steep northern face shaped by ancient glaciers.
