Monte Panormo is the summit of Monte Alburno, 1,742 metres, between Sicignano, Ottati and Petina: a natural balcony over Cilento.

Monte Panormo is the main peak of Monte Alburno and, at 1,742 metres, is among the highest summits in Cilento, after Monte Cervati and Cima di Mercori. It marks the border between Sicignano degli Alburni, Ottati and Petina, within the Cilento National Park, and its name recalls the breadth of the panorama enjoyed from the top.The massif is a great karst complex, rich in caves and hollows, and Virgil already mentioned it in the Georgics. We suggest climbing between late spring and autumn, as from winter until April the summit is often snow-covered. We like looking out from up there over the Tanagro valley and the coast: a reward well worth the effort.
