The route of trail 582 (Norcia)

At the Forca di Ancarano there is a parking lot, and the Fonte d'Ancarano spring is on the trail after 160 meters. The first kilometer climbs gently; then the gradient increases and stays sustained, around 18-20 percent, between km 1.6 and km 4.4.

At km 4.6 the trail reaches the Forca di Giuda, at 1,794 m: the summit of Monte delle Rose is about two hundred meters away. In the last, less steep kilometer the trail continues to Monte Patino.

Trail 582 (Norcia) technical details

The return is all downhill: almost 870 m.

The Park uses trail 582 in hiking route E14, "Dall'alta collina alla montagna" (From the high hills to the mountains): a loop that from the Forca di Ancarano touches Monte delle Rose and the Forca di Giuda and returns to the starting point, using trails 581 and 582. It is 10.7 km, 970 m of elevation gain, 5 hours and 40 minutes counterclockwise, graded EE.

Points of interest along trail 582 (Norcia)

The Park describes the climb as a passage through habitats: the mixed woodland gives way to beech forest, and above 1,600 m the beeches yield to grasslands, partly created by people for grazing. From the summit of Monte delle Rose, at 1,864 m, the view sweeps over the entire Sibillini range.
