Limestone peak of over 1,500 metres on the border with Basilicata, heart of the Monti Eremita-Marzano Nature Reserve.

Monte Marzano rises above 1,500 metres and is one of the main peaks of the limestone massif separating the upper Sele valley from Basilicata. It lies within the Monti Eremita-Marzano Nature Reserve, established in 1993 in the territories of Colliano, Laviano and Valva: a green corridor linking the Picentini to the Lucanian Apennines.We like climbing from Collianello along the Sentiero del Brigante (Brigand's Trail), which crosses oak, chestnut and beech woods to the pastures of Piano di Pecora before heading for the summit. From the top the view takes in the whole Sele valley. We recommend hiking boots and some fitness: the climb is steep, but with a bit of luck you will spot birds of prey such as the red kite.
