This area provides access to both moderate local hikes and more strenuous mountain experiences…

To get to the top from the hut, I think the bike has to be pushed, steep and rocky section. Apart from that, a beautiful place immersed in the silence and peace of the Apennines.

A bivouac with a fireplace and stove is always open. Located at the foot of Mount Sporno, it's an excellent shelter in times of need or simply for a rest. The refuge is always open and accessible. Naturally, please respect the basic rules, taking any waste down with you and leaving everything tidy (preferably better than you found it).

A significant peak for every Parmigiano, as it's the closest mountain to the city center to exceed 1,000 meters in altitude. That said, the summit isn't particularly scenic, but it's still pleasant.

Some summit crosses, like this one, have no corpus, while others have the figure of the crucified Christ. But the most famous crucifix on the Italian peninsula leads us from here to the Po Valley. It is there in the 'Bassa' that the writer Giovanni Guareschi (1908 to 1968) set his popular short stories about the protagonists 'Don Camillo' and 'Peppone'. But apart from these two, there is another main character: Jesus Christ himself speaks from the high altar to the priest Don Camillo - who was played excellently by the actor Fernandel (Fernand Joseph Désiré Contandin, 1903 to 1971) in several feature films. The crucifix, originally made just for the film adaptations, has been preserved and has become a popular tourist attraction in Brescello (Emilia-Romagna). It can be visited virtually as a komoot highlight at the following link =>> https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/6457013

If it weren't for the little sign and the hanging sloth, you wouldn't even notice you had passed by. A small clearing in the woods, little more. I recommend climbing up to Mount Bosso, a little further ahead, to enjoy the view (be careful because the path becomes technical in the last few meters, nothing dangerous or transcendental but be careful where you put your feet)

Mount Sporno is a peak of the Parma Apennines 1,058 meters above sea level, located along the ridge that divides the Parma and Baganza valleys. The peak is in the municipality of Langhirano, but the slopes of the mountain also belong to the municipality of Calestano, from which it is about 3 km away. It is the mountain higher than 1,000 meters closest to Parma, from which it is about 22 kilometers away. From the top of the mountain you can see a panorama of the Emilian plain. On clear days the view can easily reach the peaks of the Prealps and the Alps. On the summit there is a monument dedicated to the Alpine troops, erected in 1953 and rebuilt in 1987 by former Alpine troops from Riano, a locality at the base of the mountain. Just below the summit there is a wooden emergency shelter, always open, especially useful in the winter. The climb up the mountain does not present excessive difficulties. The summit can be reached in about an hour and a half on foot starting from the towns of Riano, Vallerano, Ramiano or Castrignano. Starting from the parish church of Castrignano, the difference in altitude is only 350 m. The Ring of Mount Sporno is a mountain bike competition with start and finish in Marzolara which winds over a length of 16.3 km along cart tracks and paths, touching the top of the mountain. In the nearby town of Fragno di Calestano, the "National Fragno black truffle fair" takes place every year, in the months of October and November, which reached its 21st edition in 2011.
