Apennine Hiking Trails Network

Cimone is the gateway to an extensive network of hiking trails, part of the Parco Regionale del Frignano and connecting to the Alta Via dei Parchi. Trails range from easy, family-friendly walks around Lago della Ninfa (approx. 2-3 hours, minimal elevation gain) to challenging multi-day treks towards other Apennine peaks like Corno alle Scale or La Nuda. Popular routes include the 'Sentiero CAI 401' offering panoramic views of the ridge and the 'Via dei Santuari', a cultural and spiritual journey. Detailed maps are available at local info points. Most trails are well-marked with CAI (Club Alpino Italiano) signage. Best explored from late spring to early autumn.
