Casale in Gualdo

The Sibillini Mountains rise immediately around Amandola, and the Monti Sibillini National Park begins at the edge of the area. The upper Tenna valley runs through the town, with mountain ridges, wooded slopes and pasture above it. The nearest ski area is Sassotetto in the Sarnano area, roughly a 30 to 40 minute drive depending on road conditions. The nearest larger town is Ascoli Piceno, which has a substantial historic centre and services, while Fermo provides provincial services toward the coast. This part of the Sibillini is known for mountain walking, high pasture and the routes toward Monte Priora and Monte Sibilla.
