Forca Canapine: No Active Webcam, Weather and Snow
There is currently no active webcam at Forca Canapine: this page brings together weather, snow and access for the road pass at 1,541 m in the Sibillini Mountains, on the border between Umbria and the Marche and close to the point where the borders of Lazio also meet. The pass is split between the municipality of Norcia, in the province of Perugia, and that of Arquata del Tronto, in the province of Ascoli Piceno. The name recalls the hemp (canapa) once grown in the nearby fields.
From Forca Canapine there are views of the Piano Grande of Castelluccio and the face of Monte Vettore. Between 1970 and 1995 it was an important ski resort in central Italy, before less snow began to fall on the Apennines. Today the lifts are closed and in winter people get around mainly on snowshoes.
Today in Forca Canapine: cloudy, high 12 °C and low 7 °C, wind up to 19 km/h.

Forca Canapine: no active webcam
There is currently no official active webcam at Forca Canapine, so this page does not show live images. To see whether there is snow at the pass, what the sky is like and whether fog is reducing visibility, check the forecast below and the Forca Canapine weather page.
The nearest active webcams are the Castelluccio webcam, on the Umbrian side, and the Monte Vettore webcam, which helps to see how far down the snow reaches on the peaks. Forca di Presta, the other pass linked to Forca Canapine by the Grande Anello dei Sibillini, also has no active webcam at the moment. The full list is on the page Sibillini Mountains Webcams.
Forca Canapine: weather and snow
Anyone looking for snow at Forca Canapine to ski should know that the ski area has been closed since the damage from the 2016 earthquake. In 2026 the municipalities of Norcia and Arquata del Tronto, the provinces of Perugia and Ascoli Piceno and the BIM del Tronto launched the "Forca Canapine 365" project to relaunch the area. For the lifts, however, methods, investment and management are still to be defined. The Colle Le Cese and Monti del Sole mountain huts are also undergoing reconstruction and restoration work.
The link with the Tronto valley is fully passable again. Provincial road 64 Nursina, between Forca Canapine and Tufo, fully reopened on July 11, 2025, after repair work on the earthquake damage. From the Salaria, follow the signs for Norcia and, before the viaduct, turn right for Forca Canapine. Anyone coming from the Macerata area, via Visso, Castelsantangelo sul Nera and Castelluccio, should expect a difficult route in winter.
With snow, snowshoeing is the main activity. The stretch of the Grande Anello dei Sibillini between Forca di Presta and Forca Canapine is easy and can be done on snowshoes when there is snow: it is 8.2 km long, has 144 m of elevation gain and takes about two hours. Before heading out it is wise to check the forecast and road conditions.
