The route of Sibillini trail 274
From the Forcella del Fargno the trail climbs at a steady gradient to the saddle of Pizzo Acuto, at 1,979 m, after just under one kilometer. The saddle separates Pizzo Acuto (2,035 m) from Pizzo Tre Vescovi; there is a viewpoint here, and this is where trail 241 arrives from Amandola.
From the saddle to the summit there are 400 meters left, steeper ones: about a hundred meters of elevation gain. The path continues a short way past the summit and ends at the junction with trail 273.
