Rio Freddo Cabelway - Prato Della Cipolla

Monte Nero is a rocky outcrop of 1753m on the border between the provinces of Parma and Piacenza. There is ample car parking at Passo Zovallo. From the car park to the summit it is only 45mins following the 003 trail. The distance is short but it offers a full body workout with ducking under and climbing over the pine trees bent by the wind, a few patches of minor scrambling and a very brief section with a cable hand rail to assist the descent.
Once you have passed over the summit. It is possible to descend and make a circuit of Lago Nero following the 001 path. There are a couple of nice picnic benches by the lake.
