Sibillini Mountains Weather

Sibillini Mountains Weather: Forecasts by Town and Altitude

Photo: Enric / CC BY-SA 4.0 / Wikimedia Commons

The weather in the Sibillini Mountains changes a great deal with altitude. Cessapalombo, in the upper Fiastrone valley, has its center at just over 400 m. Bolognola, the highest municipality in the Marche, is at 1,070 m. Above the villages rise the ridges of Monte Vettore, the highest peak of the range. This is why the weather in a valley village says little about conditions on the passes or on snowy slopes.

Here the forecasts are divided by municipality, from the Fermo side to the Macerata and Ascoli sides. To find out about snow in the Sibillini Mountains today, it is worth also checking the high-altitude locations. In winter, before going out on snowy terrain, the Sibillini avalanche bulletin (bollettino valanghe) should also be read. Live images from the villages and passes are gathered on the page Sibillini Mountains webcams.
