Short trip in the nature of the Sibillini Mountains

If you are about to venture into the intriguing nature of the Sibillini Mountains, you must know that trekking is the most popular activity here: discover the 18 Nature Trails and let yourself be led up to Mount Carrier, where Lake Pilato shines, a glacial lake so called because legend has it that it is the tomb of Pontius Pilate. Admire the small but numerous waterfalls, the "Pisciarelle", which are located near the Gole dell’Infernaccio gorges. After so much effort, you certainly deserved a hearty meal: discover the local gastronomic scene, enjoying a lentil soup and a plate of Pasta alla Norcina, during a trip to the village of Castelluccio di Norcia where the historic center will enchant you with its Renaissance churches.
