Casale Pian della Cuna: location
The farmhouse is in the Pian della Cuna area. The area lies below Monte Fema, near the Riserva naturale Montagna di Torricchio. It is a remote area, far from inhabited centers.
The usual starting point is Fematre, a small mountain farming village. On foot, after a gradual but steady climb, the route reaches a junction, where it turns right into the Pian della Cuna valley. From there it continues on a gentle descent, passing the Casale Pian della Cuna and the Fonte Bosco di Fematre spring.
By mountain bike, the route starts from Molini di Visso. It climbs to Fematre, where the asphalt ends, and continues on a forest road to Pian della Cuna. The route is considered easy.
Casale Pian della Cuna: what to see nearby
Pian della Cuna lies just outside the Sibillini National Park, in the Sibillini Mountains, and borders the Riserva naturale Montagna di Torricchio. The reserve is protected by WWF and covers about 300 hectares. The Council of Europe has recognized it as a biogenetic reserve, and it is rich in flowers and wildlife.
The plateau is surrounded by soft, rounded peaks. In spring the pastures bloom. To lengthen the hike, it is possible to continue toward Monte Fema: the loop from Fematre crosses Pian della Cuna and then climbs to Monte Fema, at 1,575 m.
