Night and sunrise on Monte Vettore: the roof of the Marche

The gaze manages to embrace the Marche valley floor from Ancona to the far south, trespassing in Abruzzo towards the Gran Sasso massif. To the north, Monte Sibilla appears with the Sibillini chain, and to the west, Lago di Pilato lightens up slowly along with the beautiful rocky wall of Pizzo del Diavolo. Our lust for landscapes can hardly hope for better gratification. Those who intend to stop and contemplate the beauty of this mountain without going to the top, have the opportunity to sit in front of the Zilioli Refuge, in the company of unspoiled nature, silence and a starry vault as you rarely see it.

Breathtaking night on the roof of the Marche! With its 2476 meters of altitude, Monte Vettore is the highest mountain in the Sibillini range. The efforts to reach this exceptional location will undoubtedly be rewarded by the spectacle of the birth of a new day: the unreal silence near the summit is broken only by the sound of the stony ground that almost becomes a melody under the steps, in the distance the sparkling of inhabited centers, and the light that explodes from the Adriatic going to illuminate lands, villages and towns.
