Cima del Lago, Mountain summit in Apennines, Italy

Cima del Lago is a 2,422 m mountain on the border between Marche and Umbria, in the Montemonaco municipality within the Monti Sibillini National Park. It belongs to the Monte Vettore group, 53 m lower than Vettore, and forms with it and Punta di Prato Pulito the southern end of a U-shaped ridge above the Valle del Lago. It faces east-northeast over Lago di Pilato and west-northwest over the Pian Grande of Castelluccio di Norcia.

Cima del Lago lies on the border between Marche and Umbria, in the municipality of Montemonaco, within the Monti Sibillini National Park. The sources record no separate history for the peak itself; its documented identity is as the southernmost summit of the U-shaped ridge that also includes Monte Vettore and Punta di Prato Pulito, above the Valle del Lago.

The name comes from the mountain lakes nearby, which have long guided shepherds and travelers across these heights. Visitors today can still see traditional trail markers and stone cairns that reflect how people have moved through this landscape for centuries.

Cima del Lago lies on the Marche–Umbria border in the Comune di Montemonaco, inside the Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini. It is reached on foot from the Valle del Lago side, and the summit looks east-northeast over Lago di Pilato and Monte Vettore, west-northwest over the Pian Grande di Castelluccio di Norcia. Plan for open, high ground at 2,422 m.

Cima del Lago is only 53 metres lower than Monte Vettore, yet it is the only summit from which the whole extent of Lago di Pilato can be seen from above. The lake lies below the east-northeast face, while the Pian Grande di Castelluccio opens to the west-northwest.
