The sources record no historical events for the Porche di Vallinfante; the group is documented as a small mountain chain whose highest point is Cima di Vallinfante at 2113 m, the top of the giogaia. Its slopes above Vallinfante and near Macchie hold the springs of the Nera river, and the ridge links Colle La Croce, Monte Porche, Cima Vallelunga, Passo Cattivo and Monte Prata.

The chain takes its name from Vallinfante, the village on its lower slopes, and the nearby hamlet of Macchie is also close by. The slopes hold the springs of the Nera river and the waterfall known as Lu Pisciaturu, both fed by water rising on the Porche.

Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit, with starting points near the Province of Macerata where visitor parking is available. The routes vary in difficulty and duration, so consulting local trail maps before heading out is helpful.
