Fabbriche di Vergemoli walks

Monte Forato, or "pierced mountain" in English, is a curiosity of the Apuan Alps that attracts many hikers. Monte Forato consists of two peaks of equal height, connected by a natural arch. The circular hole is 12 metres high, and the arch itself is about 8 metres thick. This circular hike will allow you to discover the beauty of this massif in the Apuan Alps, as well as neighbouring peaks such as Procinto, Monte Nona, Piana della Croce and Omo Morto.

A beautiful hike. The relatively steep climb is rewarded with a view of this lake. Note: if you want to hike all the way around the lake (to the left), you will have to cross a scree slope. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, you can hike to the right to the mountain hut.
