Steps in silence: along the Via Longobarda, from the wild meadows of the summit of Monte Polo to the medieval alleys of Roccaferrara
Sunday 13 September 2026
The Monte Polo ring is a journey into the living geology of the Apennines.
You will walk among the imposing sandstone and flysch formations, where millennial erosion has sculpted vertical walls and spectacular accumulations of debris.
In autumn, the landscape is stripped bare, revealing the bare architecture of the mountain, which we find intact in the village of Roccaferrara Superiore: here the stone is not just a path, but becomes a home, in a perfect symbiosis between man and nature where the town seems to emerge directly from the bowels of the earth.
