The path, which can start either from Forca di Presta or from Colle di Montegallo, reaches the highest peak of the park: the summit of M. Vettore (2476 m.). The species living at this altitude have adapted to the severe weather conditions. A famous flower, which is the symbol of the peaks of the Apennines, is the Stella Alpina. This little white jewel adorns almost all the highest summits in the Park. The massif of M. Vettore hosts another undisputed jewel: the Lago di Pilato, the only glacial lake in the Apennines, in whose water swims the Chirocefalo Marchesoni, a small crustacean that is not to be found anywhere else in the world.
