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.
