In this section you can find some of the tourist destinations in the Sibillini Mountains National Park and Surroundings
L’infernaccio
The Infernaccio gorge is perhaps the most famous and sought-after naturalistic destination of the Sibillini. These are the natural gorges formed by the river Tenna, located between Mount Priora and the Sibilla. From this place rich in history and legends there are many more or less demanding paths such as the one to reach the Rio waterfall, the Hermitage of San Leonardo and Capotenna.

The Sibyl is the mountain from which the Sibillini Park takes its name, the most famous and perhaps the most visited for the beauty of the panorama that can be enjoyed from up there. With its 2,173 meters it is not the highest relief of the Sibillini, but undoubtedly it is the most full of suggestions, myths and legends, linked for centuries to the figure of the Sibyl.
Santuario Madonna dell’Ambro
The seventeenth-century sanctuary, of ancient foundation dating back to the eleventh century, stands next to the Ambro stream and is one of the oldest and most visited sanctuaries in the Marches, a pilgrimage destination, nestled between the Priora massif (2332 meters) and Castel Manardo (1917 mt.).
