WLK06 Petrara – Monte Roma

/ Walks

A challenging route, both in length and elevation gain, but very interesting and scenic. From Petrara, it reaches the La Cingualdese refuge and returns, taking the dirt road of Monte Roma. Once at the top, the view is dominated by the peaks of Monte Catria and Monte Acuto, with the steep, jagged rock faces of Corno del Catria and Balze della Porta. A section on the trail requires some attention to orientation, but the GPS track is a reliable reference.

WLK02 Petrara – Pianello

/ Walks

A short and easy hike, consisting of just one climb and one descent. The initial stretch follows a dirt road along the Palombara Valley, then descends along Via Cupa, a pleasant dirt road with beautiful views of the jagged rocky slopes of Monte Roma. It skirts the hills of Poggio Pantano and Poggio Pantanello and passes through Petrara and Pianello, two hamlets of Serra Sant'Abbondio. It's said to be frequented by wolves, but I only encountered a small group of friendly roe deer.

WLK05 Pianello – Cingualdese – Colombara

/ Walks

A beautiful trail that follows mostly grassy dirt roads flanked by woods between Frontone and Serra Sant'Abbondio. It skirts the hills of Poggio Pantano, Poggio Pantanello, and Monte Tordo, bringing you close to the Fonte della Cingualdese. As you walk, you pass through the three small villages of Pianello, Piccione, and Colombara. Always very scenic, it offers beautiful views of the Palombara Valley and the hills of Monte Roma, Cimate di Rave, and Monte Catria. A very pleasant walk, not demanding, and with no difficulty finding your way.

WLK04 Serra Sant'Abbondio – Cingualdese

/ Walks

The route is short, but with some steep climbs. The loop begins in Serra Sant'Abbondio and circumnavigates two paired peaks called La Crocetta and Monte Tordo. The climb is very scenic, with beautiful views of Monte Catria, Corno del Catria, and Monte Acuto. You arrive near the Fonte Cingualdese and pass through the small village of Piccione, almost uninhabited but with numerous renovated and well-maintained buildings. A pleasant walk, moderately challenging, and with no difficulty in orienting yourself.

WLK03 Coldorso – Montevecchio – Montajate

/ Walks

This walk is long, but not demanding, with only a few moderate climbs. It develops in a little-known and little-frequented area, full of small villages and isolated houses. Montevecchio and Montajate are the two main points of interest, which will not disappoint you. But what excites are the views that open in every direction, including, above all, those that show the long ridge that from Monte Nerone, passing through Monte Petrano and Monte Catria, reaches up to Monte della Strega.
