Via D. Sbarra, Montefortino

The Sibillini Mountains rise immediately around Montefortino, with Monte Sibilla and the massif of the Monti Sibillini within the local landscape. The area lies in the Monti Sibillini National Park. A short drive leads up toward the mountain roads and trailheads around Pintura di Bolognola and the Sassotetto area, which are the nearest ski areas in this part of the range. The nearest larger town with a fuller set of shops and services is Ascoli Piceno, while Amandola is the small local service centre for the upper valley. This part of the Sibillini is known for high limestone ridges, upland pastures, gorges and mountain walking.
