Monte Serano
Umbria
Rising directly behind Spoleto, this peak offers one of the best panoramas over the Valnerina and surrounding Apennine ridgelines, reached via a trail through oak scrub and open karst terrain. The limestone summit area is pocked with sinkholes and small caves typical of the region's porous geology. Paragliders occasionally launch from the upper slopes on calm days.
