Monte Dente della Vecchia

Monte Dente della Vecchia rises to 1843 meters in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, featuring a tooth-shaped peak that emerges from the northwest crest of Alpe Tre Potenze.

In 217 BC, Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca led his army through Paso della Vecchia near Monte Dente della Vecchia during his campaign against Rome.

For two centuries, the mountain passes around Monte Dente della Vecchia served as transport routes for red fir and beech logs to build ships at Pisa's naval arsenal.

Hikers can access the summit from the southwest pass along the ridge or from the northeast starting at Fariola Pass, located below Mount Gomito's peak.

The mountain environment transitions to moorlands above the timberline, with extensive areas of blueberries and creeping conifers near Lake Piatto and Lago Nero.
