The route of Sibillini trail 153

The junction with trail 151 is about a kilometer before the lake. The first four hundred meters are level; then the path climbs steadily to the Forca di Pala, at 1,852 m, at km 1.3, and continues to about 1,900 m.

From km 1.6 the trail loses some forty meters, down to 1,860 m around km 2.4, and the last section climbs back steeply: about 75 m in four hundred meters, up to the Forca Viola pass.

Trail 153 technical details

There are no water points along the route; the nearest spring is on trail 151, toward the lake.

Sibillini trail 153 map

At Forca Viola, trail 153 meets the Strada Imperiale, which leads to Capanna Ghezzi, and trail 554, which climbs toward Monte Argentella. It is therefore the link between the valley of the Lago di Pilato and the Umbrian side of the Sibillini.

Hikers who climb from Foce on trail 151 and take trail 153 do not reach the lake: to see it, continue on trail 151 for about a kilometer.
