Cima del Monte

The Cima del Monte trail extends 6.5 kilometers through vineyards and rocky terrain, reaching an elevation of 516 meters above the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The mountain path gained recognition in the 1980s when it became part of organized hiking routes connecting various settlements on Elba's northern coast.

Local residents maintain traditional grape cultivation methods on the mountain slopes, preserving centuries-old agricultural practices within the Mediterranean landscape.

The steep trail requires proper hiking equipment and contains minimal shade coverage, making early morning departures essential during summer months.

From the summit, visitors observe both the northern and eastern coasts of Elba Island, plus sections of the Italian mainland across the water.
