Monte Capanne on the Island of Elba

Monte Capanne: the highest mountain on the Island of Elba

View all photos

At the summit of the highest mountain on the island (1019 meters), on a particularly clear day, not only can you admire a unique panorama, but you can also stretch your gaze to the distant islands of the archipelago: Pianosa, Capraia, Montecristo, Gorgona, and even Corsica.

For nature lovers, especially those interested in trekking and bird watching, the Island of Elba offers the best conditions imaginable for hiking.

By following the numerous trails, you can discover a multitude of microcosms based on delicate balances, admire various endemic species, rare and beautiful orchids, fragrant blooms, and at the same time, enjoy stunning panoramic views.

Here, as in many other areas of the island, during the autumn period, among the oak woods, there are over 200 species of mushrooms, the most sought-after and appreciated of which is certainly the black porcini.

The area at the foot of Monte Capanne is characterized by Mediterranean scrub and large granite rocks, which, eroded by the wind, have taken on curious and unique shapes over time.

With a little attention and luck, you can spot isolated herds of mouflons or witness the majestic flight of some beautiful birds of prey.

To reach the summit of Monte Capanne, in addition to the numerous trails, there is a two-seat cable car that departs from Marciana, open during the summer. In just a few minutes, you can reach the top of the massif and enjoy a one-of-a-kind panorama!
