Monte Cornaccione

Monte Cornaccione is a summit in Monti Sibillini National Park that rises to 1,769 meters with steep slopes and rocky terrain throughout. The mountain's sides drop sharply and are marked by exposed rock formations that shape its rugged appearance.

The mountain's name comes from its horn-like shape, reflecting geological structures formed over millions of years by tectonic activity in the Apennine range. These formations shaped the distinctive profile visible from neighboring peaks.

Local communities near Monte Cornaccione maintain traditional shepherding practices along the mountain paths, preserving centuries-old connections with the landscape.

Marked trails lead from the village of Macchie toward the summit, offering routes of varying difficulty and length depending on your choice of path. Visitors should prepare for changing mountain weather and bring proper gear.

From the summit, visitors can see both Monte Bicco and Monte Bove Sud clearly, providing natural reference points within the Sibillini range. This unobstructed view allows you to take in multiple peaks of the region at once.
