Monte Finestra

Monte Finestra rises to 1138 meters within the Lattari Mountains, forming part of the range that divides the Gulf of Naples from the Gulf of Salerno. The summit features steep rocky slopes and is accessible by several marked trails of varying difficulty.

The mountain takes its name from a natural rock opening that resembles a window and is visible from the surrounding valleys below. This distinctive formation has shaped the landscape and served as a landmark for centuries.

The mountain holds meaning for locals who gather for annual races and competitions that test endurance against its slopes. These events bring the community together around a shared passion for mountain sports and outdoor challenge.

The climb demands good fitness and proper gear, as the route includes steep sections and takes several hours to complete. Bring plenty of water and sturdy hiking boots, and check weather conditions before starting your ascent.

The trail C.A.I. 308a is named after Sergio Rosa, a climber who died attempting to scale the steep rock faces. This name serves as a reminder of the serious hazards that come with tackling this demanding route.
